Something old, something new.
Italian brand Mepra, short for Metallurgica Prandelli, started making kitchenwares in 1950, hence the reference to 1950 in this line of high-quality stainless steel cookware. Their rounded sides were inspired by early Etruscan terracotta, and can we just say: The look still works. Each piece has been treated with a special vintage process to give the surface a warm, rustic look—while keeping its all-modern durability.
