These three areas constitute the course of the Vitra brand. Whether the Home Collection, Office Collection, or Public Collection – there is Vitra furniture for every room: perfectly adaptable for different purposes. Home Collection The Home Collection includes the most famous Vitra furniture: the undisputed design classics. Furniture by great designers such as Charles & Ray Eames, Verner Panton, or George Nelson are well-known by design enthusiasts. Many of these furniture designs have been produced by Vitra for decades. The - both optical and qualitative - durability of this furniture has been an important factor in affecting Vitra’s reputation. Some examples are the Panton Chair or the Eames Lounge Chair which are both considered legendary today. Vitra however doesn’t rest on the laurels of its past: Even modern designers work on furniture for the home collection at the Swiss manufacturer. Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Konstantin Grcic, and Alfredo Häberli are only some famous names with which traditional Vitra cares to cooperate with.
Vitra Furniture for the Office In Vitra’s Office Collection, the focus clearly lies on modern and functional office furnishings. The manufacturer uses modern technological achievements in order to create the perfect products for the modern, every-day office. The “productive office” is the aim of this philosophy: the working space should work for people, instead of people only using it. Of course, famous designers can be found here as well: Well-known, for example, is Alberto Meda whose ergonomic office chairs can be found worldwide. The connection of communicative rooms and relax possibilities is considered a perfect combination for privacy and wellbeing today. The continuous networking and the exchange with others is possible (“Net”) with this approach, while the demand of private rooms for concentration and regeneration (“Nest”) always remains in focus. Regardless which of these areas one considers: Even at the beginning of the design process, an approach is used to ensure a perfect fit regarding the various areas.
Engineers and designers work together in the creation process of a product, in order to keep quality, aesthetics, and functionality continuously on the highest level, helping the furniture manufacturer to keep its excellent reputation. Due to this interdisciplinary approach, today, much more belongs to Vitra Cosmos than just manufacturing furniture: Vitra also stands for the Vitra Design Museum, for a collection of modern furniture and their archives, for workshop and publications on design and for an architecture understanding, which includes constructions by Frank Gehry, Nicholas Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron, and SANAA in the main headquarters in Birsfelden (Switzerland) and at the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany). Even accessories, sculptures, and objects for children are produced by Vitra. All of these different areas have significantly contributed to the Vitra’s success over the decades. The success story of this family company was made possible due to consequent combining of good design with high quality.
Regardless of what raw materials a Vitra product is made out of, one can be sure that material and finished quality are among the best on the market. This also includes sustainability: For Vita, since its founding in 1950, it is obvious that production, use, and disposal of furniture should not cause damage. The durability of its products is of top priority, characterised by Charley & Ray Eames: Both materials and design at Vitra are focussed on surviving decades.The Aluminium Chair by the designers couple Charles & Ray Eames belongs to the most important furniture designs of the 20th century! The iconic design of the aluminium chair spreads its modern elegance in rooms all over the world for 50 years already. The chairs are equally popular with leading personalities from politics, art, economy as well as from the entertainment sector. A main characteristic of the aluminium chair is the intelligent connection of the materials. The coating is fixed and tensed in the lateral aluminium profiles.
With it, it is not a coating, but carries the whole construction. It even adapts to your body, offering the highest comfort, also without elaborate upholstery. Contrasting other products of the aluminium group, the EA 117 and the EA 119 chairs possess castors at the base. Vitra produces the aluminium chair program in unchanged quality for decades.
