Sorry for the lack of updates, things have been hopping here at Maku HQ!

Check out our newest retail and ecomm partner!

Vivavi
(vee-va-vee): combination of the Latin Vivir meaning "to live" and the stem Avi meaning "sign"


Josh Dorfman and his crew at Vivavi have an amazing contemporary program that is surrounded with eco conscious products and philosophies! They develop forward thinking ventures designed to enable modern green living and you should not only check out the Vivavi site and buy something from them (hint -Maku!) but their sister website is a great resource - Modern Green Living

Aside from running the Vivavi Showroom in NYC and their websites, Josh is also known as The Lazy Environmentalist and has written a book of the same title as well as hosts his show on sirius satellite radio. Dwell Magazine says The Lazy Environmentalist is "... a guide to going green without resorting to birkenstocks and brown rice casserole.."

All of us at Maku (ok all 2 of us...) are really excited to be working with a group that is truly at the forefront of sustainable design and green living!
