Koncord Coffee Maker by Walter Capp for VEV Viganò

The Koncord coffee maker is defined by a sharply geometric, almost sculptural form. Its faceted body departs from the traditional rounded moka silhouette, replacing it with clean angles and a sense of precision that feels closer to architecture than kitchenware. The black faceted section is designed to be held while the piece is hot, replacing the need for a handle and integrating function directly into the form. It functions as a coffee maker, but just as easily as a permanent fixture on the stove or shelf—an object that elevates a daily ritual through form alone.

Designed in the 1970s by Walter Capp for VEV Viganò, the Koncord reflects a moment when even the most functional objects were reconsidered through the lens of design. Produced in Italy, it draws from the familiar language of the moka pot while pushing it into a more graphic, forward-looking expression. The result is a piece that bridges utility and presence—where making coffee becomes inseparable from the object itself.
