Vitra

Vitra Campus / The Vitra Campus is a heterogeneous ensemble of contemporary architecture by some of the most acclaimed architects worldwide (www.vitra.com/campus).

Home Stories / …some Home Stories. There´s no place like home. It is where you can gather your thoughts, family and friends. Seasonal tales for each and every generation, full of ideas, with `a gift for all´ at their heart. Vitra shares its creative spirit, celebrating original design, a gift that all can cherish. For our catalogues we visited a lot different location.

Living Room / In times in which our world seems to be moving increasingly fast, we all need a place where we can rest and relax - privately. For many of us, the living room is this special place. This is why, the paramount goal in each home should be, to create a living room that helps us to forget the stress of the outer world.

Dining Room / The traditional definition of a dining room is no longer valid. Today, it is not only a place where we eat, but a meeting point where family and friends come together. Where they sit, talk and drink - even long after meals have been finished.

Home Office / Thanks to modern technology, we work wherever our laptop is - even at home. While doing so, a nice surrounding is the basis for constructive work.

Office / Not only does Vitra produce extraordinary funiture for private homes, office furniture is also part of the product range. Quite often, Vitra plans the entire arrangement of office spaces.

Outdoors / During the hot time of the year we spend as much time as possible outside. Be it swimming in a lake, reading a book on the terrace or having a glass of wine in our garden - life is so much better in summer!

Children's Furniture

Children's Furniture / Vitra’s products for children, in addition to their function, also seek to bring joy to young hearts!

Accessories / Accessories form the soul of every home. By decorating our homes, we define ourselves through the details. Without them, every house or appartment would be a lifeless place, without any character.

Storage / There's plenty of things in every househould that cause a mess. For such trivialities storage is inevitable. It helps to bring order to the chaos and apropos of nothing it can enrich your home.

Miniatures / Thanks to the Vitra Miniatures, you can take your favourite chair with you - no matter where you go. The only catch: you can't sit on it.

Around the Clock

Around the Clock / Whether you like it or not, all of us have to keep an eye on the time throughout our daily lives. Thanks to the Vitra Wall Clocks, a glance at the clock can be a pleasure.

Chairs / Without chairs, we would all have to sit on the floor. No, seriously. What would mankind do without chairs? Many of us spend a big part of their daily lives on chairs. We need them, and they need us.

Office Chairs / A comfortable office chair is the basis to constructive work. Besides, it is probably the chair you spent the most time sitting on throughout your daily life. This is why, it should not only be just comfortable, but also nice to look at.

Eames Plastic Chair

Eames Plastic Chair / 'Getting the most of the best to the greatest number of people for the least': with these words, Charles and Ray Eames described one of their main goals as furniture designers. None of their other designs come as close to achieving this ideal as the Plastic Chairs.

Lounge Chairs / Reading, napping, daydreaming - these are only a few of countless things that a Lounge Chair is good for. Apropos of nothing, it is probably the most comfortable piece of furniture you will ever had the pleasure sitting on.

Landi Chair / Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the legendary Swiss National Exhibition "Landi" in Zurich. To commemorate this occasion, Hans Coray’s Landi Chair has been reissued – in the same design that visitors admired at the National Exhibition in 1939. Swiss designer Michel Charlot introduced the Davy Table, an aluminium table to complement the Landi Chair.

Panton Chair / The Panton Chair is a classic in the history of furniture design. Conceived by Verner Panton in 1960, the chair was developed for serial production in collaboration with Vitra (1967). It was the first chair to be manufactured completely out of plastic in one single piece.

Sofas / Without doubt, the sofa is the centre of of every living room. It is the place where the family comes together, where it spends calm hours in a cozy surrounding - leaving stress and tight schedules behind.

Chaise Longues / A Chaise Longue is caught somewhere between a chair and a sofa. Nevertheless it has found its place in the hearts of many people already a very long time ago - dating back to the ancient Egypt.

Office Desks / Most likely all of us associate desks with work. Well, not every day in the office is awesome, there are days on which we loved to be able to sink into the soil. A nice surrounding at work can guide us through those days.

Tables / Tables accompany each and everyone of us throughout the entire day. Be it at work, at home or outside - tables are omnipresent. Some of them are functional, others rather a sculptural object. Whatever they might be, it's all about finding a happy medium.

Coffee and Side Tables

Coffee and Side Tables / Whilst the living room is the centre of most homes, the side table standing is the centre of most living rooms. It is the place where family and friends come together. Where they relax, drink and chat.

Benches / A bench is one of the most versatile pieces of furniure ever made. It can be used for waiting, resting, reading or as spot to place accessories on it.

At your home / Vitra furniture and accessories for the home.

Retail References

Office & Public References

Office & Public References / Vitra products are also used in public and working spaces, where they have to stand ever tougher conditions than in private homes. Every room continuously emits signals that consciously or unconsciously affect the perceptions and performance of users. These kinds of signals have a significant impact on the atmospheric quality of interiors. All of the products developed by Vitra for use in public and office take this insight into account.

Lighting / Light creates atmosphere and atmosphere creates cosiness. Besides a comfortable couch and blanket to cuddle in that's basically all we need on our living rooms.

Fairs / Vitra is present at the most important furniture fairs all around the globe.

Jasper Morrison

Jasper Morrison / Known for thinking outside the box, Jasper Morrison is one of the most successful industrial designers of the past few decades. Together with his colleague Naoto Fukasawa, he defined the term 'super normal', which in his opinion answers the question of what 'good design' should really be.

Hella Jongerius

Hella Jongerius / ‘One colour is no colour. Only when colours are seen alongside each other does the real quality of each colour surface become visible.’ The designer Hella Jongerius has become known for the unique way she fuses industry and craft, high- and low-tech, traditional and contemporary. In her textiles and ceramic works as well as her furniture pieces, Jongerius has consistently addressed the significance of colours and surfaces in contemporary design.

Antonio Cittero

Antonio Cittero / ‘Working together with Antonio has never been the case of him being the designer who thinks solely of form and Vitra being the manufacturer that thinks only of business, technology and production. Instead, we have always been able to view things from each other’s perspective, in a multitude of dialectics. Sometimes Vitra focuses purely on aesthetics and Antonio thinks about the production costs - or vice versa.’
