COKI BARBIERI
The first step is to be honest.
Sustainability is not a label but a practice, a way of thinking, working, and living. Every action, from how we create to how we eat or move, reflects a single idea: that human making should exist in quiet dialogue with nature, not against it.
ORIGIN
COKI was founded in 2017 to create objects made only from natural raw materials. This approach demands time, study, and restraint, minimizing the use of non-renewable resources and eliminating toxic substances throughout the life of each piece.
Our methods are slow, but they allow us to stay close to what matters: the natural world that inspires our work every day.
MATERIALS
Our signature natural composite stone is crafted entirely by hand from pure mineral fragments and botanical pigments. It is produced without cement or synthetic binders, using only physical processes and the natural heat of the sun. This artisanal rhythm generates no CO₂ emissions and no waste.
PROCESS
Each piece is made to order in our atelier in the hills of Rimini, surrounded by trees and silence. We use the energy of air, water, and sunlight wherever possible, and reuse fragments from our own process to create new material.
PACKAGING & LOGISTICS
Our packaging is made just a few kilometers away, from recycled and recyclable paper, hand-assembled with a minimalist design.
We ship through partners certified GoGreen Plus, Carbon Reduced, using sustainable aviation fuel to lower CO₂ emissions by 30%.
Sustainability extends beyond the studio and into everyday practices. Living and working within the same place allows resources to be shared, reduced, and respected, shaping a way of making that is continuous rather than compartmentalised.
Energy use, food choices, and care practices follow the same principle that guides the work itself: to act with restraint, to use little, and to avoid harm wherever possible. These decisions are not treated as separate from the creative process, but as part of a broader sensitivity to balance, coexistence, and responsibility.
In this sense, sustainability is not an external framework applied to the work, but a condition that emerges naturally from how materials are chosen, how time is respected, and how daily life is organised around awareness rather than excess.
We believe a company can exist without taking more than it gives.
Our goal is to create positive or reversible reactions between human needs and the natural environment, so that building a home or creating an object does not require the displacement of even an earthworm.
Sensitivity. Honesty. Kindness.
