ViCollective

Preserving value with 2nd circle products.

 

The young company ViCOLLECTIVE with its two brands ViCAFE and Vivi Kola accompanies coffee along the entire value chain. This enables it to guarantee quality and create transparency for an ecologically sustainable coffee experience. The ViCAFE roastery & coffee bar is located in a listed former Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) factory building and offers an authentic brand experience with a coffee bar, its own soft drinks, roastery, cupping lab, bakery, event space and office workstations.

The company also underlines its values through a collaboration with Vitra: "2nd Circle products", in particular used Eames Fiberglass Chairs, were used for the ViCAFE Roastery & Coffee Bar, giving them a new lease of life.
