Velca — Design funzionale italiano per la casa e l'ufficio

Velca — Functional Italian design for home and office

History and Foundation

Velca is an Italian company active since the 1960s and 1970s, specializing in the production of accessories and furnishing complements for the home and office. Born in the context of the Italian economic boom, Velca interprets the spirit of the time: functionality, sober elegance, and attention to material quality.

Design at the Service of Daily Life

Velca's philosophy is to bring good design into everyday life, with products that combine aesthetics and practicality. Velca's furnishing complements are distinguished by attention to detail, the use of quality materials, and design attentive to the real needs of users.

Collaboration with Orlandini and Lucci

Among Velca's most significant collaborations is that with the design duo Paolo Orlandini and Roberto Lucci, who designed the celebrated VIP coat stand and umbrella stand for the company in 1970. This piece perfectly synthesizes the Italian ability to transform a common object into a furnishing element with a strong formal identity.

The Value of 1970s Italian Design

Velca products from the 1970s today represent an important chapter in the history of minor Italian design, that quality production which did not achieve the notoriety of major brands but which testifies to the extraordinary creative vitality of "Made in Italy" in that decade.

In our store, you will find authentic Velca pieces, perfect for enriching an environment with the authentic character of 1970s Italian design.
