VdE Tivoli 1996, the main brand of Galileo S.p.A., was born in 1996 from a simple and yet revolutionary idea: turning the table into a story of color, creativity, and expressive freedom. Its first great intuition? Breaking the rules of the traditional table settings with the concept of "scomposti a tavola" a playful approach that mixes colors and compositions in ever-changing ways. An open invitation to experiment, to reinvent every time the art of conviviality. The drive for innovation led to the birth of VdE Studio,

Table stories, color, and creativity
a creative hub where ideas take shape. This is where iconic collections like Victionary, Le Travisate, Bigismore, and Spqere came to life. Here, design meets irony, transforming everyday objects into storytellers, vessels of words and meanings where everyone can find a part of themselves.
Today, VdE Tivoli 1996 is a blend of heritage, innovation, contemporary design, and a touch of irreverence. At VdE Tivoli 1996, the home and the table are never static they evolve, adapt, and grow together with those who live them.
Our vision
COLOR IS A LANGUAGE
According to us, color is not just an aesthetic choice but awayof communicating. Every shade evokes an emotion, every contrast sparks creativity. That’s why in our collections, color takes center stage: bold, vibrant, never ordinary.
CREATIVITY IS FREE EXPRESSION
NWe don’t follow trends we reinterpret them Every collection is an invitation to play, mix, and reinvent. Home and table settings are never static; they transform every day along with the people who live them.
AUTHENTICITY IS OUR SIGNATURE
We love things that feel real, that hold a story within. An imperfect detail, an irregular finish, an object that tells a story— this is what matters to us We don’t seek perfection, but the beauty of what is unique, shaped by life itself.
IRONY IS THE KEY
Irony is a smart way to play with the rules. It’s the art of twisting expectations into something new. It is never excessive or provocative but an invitation to see home and table settings from a fresh perspective. You’ll find it in hidden details, in the names of our collections, in unexpected combinations
Creativity, for VdE Tivoli 1996, is a journey among inspirations and intuitions A well-established creative team, the core of our collections, brings ideas and designs to life directly from our offices.
We don’t just follow trends; we reinterpret them, blending influences from the world of lifestyle, art, and fashion. Our vision is wide and open: we observe runways, design trends, cultural influences, and transform them not just into objects, but into storytellers.
Design philosophy a u t h e n t i c i t y 03
cr e a t i v i t y
Our language is color: vibrant tones, bold combinations, and palettes that speak of emotions Color is never just decoration it is self-expression, the way through which we give character to every piece. Like in fashion, our palettes evolve over time, capturing the essence of the moment without losing our distinctive touch. Every object is designed to be combined, reinvented, and adapted to every moment, with no fixed rules.
