⌛History Behind The Piece⌛ Founded in Varese, Italy in the early 1960s, Vev Viganò became synonymous with sophisticated Italian coffeeware. The Kontessa line, produced throughout the 1980s, introduced a high-lustre 18/10 stainless finish offset with gold detailing—reflecting the postmodern Italian aesthetic popularised by Alessi and Guido Bergna contemporaries. Today, Kontessa models remain sought-after for their quality, weight, and sculptural silhouette that bridges utility and design.
