COKI is a fine home decor brand and design laboratory founded in 2017 by Italian product and architectural designer Coki Barbieri (she/her). The studio is located on the first hills of Rimini, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, and surrounded by thick, spontaneous vegetation. Coki's work is inspired by rationalist architecture and the morphologies of animal and plant kingdoms.

Using cardboard and cork to prototype Coki designs geometries and connections between elements, which are then defined digitally and with hand drawings. Handicraft production recovers local raw materials and preserves ancient working stone, glass, and metal methods. Each piece is handmade and characterized by an irregular surface that may have holes, gouges, or jagged edges, featuring an organic and unique appearance.

Combining notions of geology, chemistry, and design culture, COKI offers new materials by reusing fragments, stone scraps, and minerals. The production cycle exploits the power of the sun and air to create many project components. This offsets some of the CO2 emissions caused by borosilicate glass and stainless steel processing.

COKI aims to develop a production and logistics chain with the least possible waste of resources and materials. In 2020, the brand won the Green Product Award and was internationally recognized for its sustainable and ethical approach to home decor.
