FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Below are answers to our most common questions. For anything not covered here— or for questions related to a specific order or project—write to us at studio@lavivahome.com.
THE WORK
Where are your products made?

Our collections are developed in close collaboration with artisan workshops around the world. The defining components of each piece are made by the workshops and makers we collaborate with. All lighting is assembled and electrified in our US workshops.

Should I expect variation between pieces?

Yes—and we consider this one of the most important qualities of the work. Because our pieces are made by hand from natural materials, no two are exactly alike. Subtle variations in finish, form, and texture are inherent to the process and part of what gives each piece its character.

Voltage & Certification

What voltage are your fixtures?

All fixtures are wired to the voltage of the destination country and include compatible bulbs.

Is your lighting certified?

Yes. All fixtures are UL-listed. For our Mexican clients, our lighting also carries NOM certification.

Installation & Performance

Are your fixtures hardwired?

Unless otherwise noted, all fixtures are hardwired and intended for professional installation.

Are your fixtures dimmable?

Most fixtures are dimmable when used with compatible bulbs and dimmer switches. Please ask us about recommended dimmers for the fixture you have in mind.

Finish & Customization

Do you offer finish samples?

Finish samples are available for many collections. Please contact us for current availability and pricing.

Can fixtures be customized?

Customizations are considered on a case-by-case basis depending on scope and feasibility. Get in touch to discuss your project.

VISITING US

Can I see the collections in person?

We welcome design professionals to visit our New York and Mexico City spaces by appointment. Many collections and finish samples are available to view in person. Appointments for our Soho studio can be booked directly online. To arrange a visit to our Condesa showroom, please email studio@lavivahome.com.

PRICING

What currency are your products listed in?

All pricing is listed in USD. Written quotes are honored for 60 days from the date issued. Prices may change without notice.

US ORDERS

How do I place an order?

Orders within the US may be placed directly through our website or by contacting studio@lavivahome.com. Full payment is required at the time of order placement. We accept credit card, check, wire transfer, and ACH. For orders totaling $10,000 or more, a 3% processing fee applies to credit card payments. Payment by check, wire transfer, or ACH does not incur a fee. We are not able to divide orders above this amount across multiple forms of payment.

What sales tax is applied to my order?

Sales tax is charged on all purchases shipping within New York State at the current rate of 8.875% on merchandise. Shipping costs are not taxable. Orders shipping outside of New York State are not subject to sales tax. Trade members with a resale certificate on file are invoiced as tax-exempt unless otherwise requested.

How long will it take to receive my order?

Lead times are displayed on each product page and updated regularly. If an item becomes unavailable within the quoted lead time, we will notify you promptly with a revised ship date.

MEXICO ORDERS

Do you ship to Mexico?

Yes. Orders for Mexico are handled directly by our team rather than through the website. Please reach out to studio@lavivahome.com. and we’ll guide you through the process.

How does payment work for Mexico orders?

We issue a formal invoice (factura) for all Mexico orders. It can be denominated in USD or MXN at the exchange rate on the date of issue.

Is IVA charged on Mexico orders?

Yes. Applicable IVA is applied to all orders shipping within Mexico.

What about shipping and lead times?

Transit times vary and are quoted at the time of order placement.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS

Do you ship outside the US and Mexico?

Yes. Please contact studio@lavivahome.com for a quote. Transit times vary and are confirmed at the time of order placement. Payment for international orders is made by wire transfer. Customs and duties are the responsibility of the recipient.

TRADE
Do you have a design trade program?

Yes. Our Trade Program is available to interior designers, architects, and specifiers purchasing for professional projects. Learn more about the Trade Program here.

How do I request a project quote?

RETURNS
What is your return policy?

We want you to feel confident in your purchase. Returns are accepted for store credit or exchange only and are subject to a 15% restocking fee. Requests must be made within 10 days of receiving your order. Items must be returned in their original condition and in their original packaging. Return shipping is the responsibility of the client.

We do not accept returns on lighting that has been installed or on items that have been modified in any way.

Custom and project-specified items are final sale. Orders of four or more pieces are final sale.

We are not able to accept returns where items have been ordered in the incorrect size or do not fit the intended space. Our team offers site-specific guidance to help ensure the right fit — please get in touch before ordering if you’d like support with dimensions or scale for a specific project.

What if my order arrives damaged?

Every piece is carefully inspected before shipping. If damage occurs in transit, please inspect your order within 10 days of receipt and before installation. Notify us promptly with photos, including images of any damaged packaging. If the claim is approved, we will arrange a repair or replacement as quickly as possible. Our liability will not exceed the value of the products in question.
