There is one foot between dream and reality
On the school benches we already had our minds elsewhere. Often our eyes slipped from the black board to the window to find the light. The frame of the very first GOVA prototype was made of the base of a school table, its wooden top was recycled to make the boxes. Another world exists and it is in this one.

Local & small-scale manufacturing
We campaign for design of sobriety. To minimize the environmental impacts of our production, we have chosen a France based design and manufacturing. We also know that no mass production can be virtuous, for this reason our model is based on usage rather than possession. Being responsible today also means producing less in order to produce better. Our value lies in our singularity.
Slow fast
The only time wasted is the time you don't take. We believe that it is urgent to slow down, to put things into perspective, to focus on what is meaningful. Slowing down also means giving yourself the opportunity to fully live the present moment, to take the time to meet and admire the landscape along the way. Hurry slowly, GOVA embodies this motto.
You are in good company
GOVA : feminine name from vago which in the 19th century designated the ancestor of the car in the Romani language. The word vago finds its own roots in Indo-European idiom weg(h) which means the path, the way, the fact of going forward.
