In 1936, thanks to the passion and the great insight of Mario Bongio, a small manufacturing firm was born in the heart of the Novara province, namely in Alzo di Pella, on the shores of Lake Orta, just a few kilometers from Milan.Mario Bongio skillfully managed to conduct his business through hard problems and demanding times, with his courageous choices and his top-quality production, favouring from the very beginning an unmistakable style made up of innovation and creativity.The brass, the Murano glass, the Swarovski® Elements crystal, the gold, have endowed the firm with a unique, distinctive feature.Bongio has always considered taps and bathroom fittings in a more comprehensive manner, approaching the subject in its entirety rather than dealing with it as a collection of distinct pieces, quite separate from one another.The catalogue of the current production, now managed by Mario Bongio's son, Antonio, still lists many of the projects created in the ‘30 and ‘40, thus confirming their quality and modernity, which you can still perceive today.In more recent years the manufacturing technique has kept up with the research work, aimed exclusively at the top quality of the products with the ever-present unmistakable style.The products are genuinely "Made in Italy", the outcome of authentic and outstanding Italian craftsmanship, and not just publicity.Bongio's regular attendance in first-rate showrooms all over the world is the best recognition of our longstanding commitment.Designers and creatives that today have the good fortune to work for Bongio can only take note of the charm and somehow fall under the spell of the enthusiasm that they experience in the company and in the people who work there.Today Bongio, become the icons both of design and of unlimited feeling and passion.
