The story of our roots: a journey to the origins of Viefe
At Viefe we were born from wood. Our essence comes from the boxwood
forests of the Ges valley, our land. Our roots are in the nature and
craftsmanship. We are heirs to the tradition of the family joinery
business that has marked the history of Sant Pere de Torelló
(Barcelona), and also our own. We are proud of our past, of the people
who made it possible and of the entrepreneurial spirit that has brought
us this far.
Today,
almost 100 years after the founding of Font Vergés, we are celebrating
our origins with the video ‘The story of our roots’. The film traces the
business history of the Font Vergés family, from its beginnings in 1932
manufacturing buttons, to the consolidation of Viefe as a benchmark
brand in designer accessories. The main protagonists are Albert, Manel,
Marc and Josep Font, the second and third generations at the helm of the
company.
Together with them, we went into the
workshop where it all began. Within these walls, which are now history,
time seems to have stood still, preserving the memory of what we were.
Each machine and each object tells stories of a not so distant past,
they are witnesses to the human legacy left by those who worked at Font
Vergés. This video is, above all, a tribute to all of them.
Today,
with our new facilities and the presence of our decorative accessories
all over the world, we continue to look to the future, without
forgetting our roots. We invite you to discover them!
Our
sincere thanks to all the professionals who have collaborated on this
project and to their sensitivity demonstrated in the telling of our
story.
