Vittoriano Viganò viewed all design practices as parallel paths leading to human advancement and a commitment to enhancing life quality for everyone. His work spanned a wide range of scales, encompassing industrial design, architecture, interior design, and urban planning. Viganò's multifaceted expertise gained global recognition, with critics unanimously hailing him as the most prominent Italian figure in the 'Brutalism' movement. Raised in an artistic household, his father Vico Viganò being a renowned painter and engraver, Vittoriano was naturally inclined towards architecture. He completed his studies at the Politecnico di Milano in 1944. Upon opening his studio, he began collaborating with his friend Gino Sarfatti. Initially an advisor and later the Art Director for Arteluce, Sarfatti's company, Viganò played a significant role in the firm's success. He designed their flagship store on Via della Spiga in Milan and contributed significantly to Arteluce's product line, notably creating the VV Cinquanta series of lights, characterized by metal cones and adjustable arms for ambient lighting. In 1991, Viganò's contributions to architecture were recognized with the prestigious Italian Republic President Prize for Architecture, bestowed by the San Luca Academy.
