Over the past decades, Vitra has worked closely with some of the world’s most important designers and their descendants. These collaborations have led to the production of many classics: furnishings from another era that remain as timely and vital as ever and continue to move and inspire the company.
As a furniture manufacturer, Vitra maintains a close relationship with its designers – whom they refer to as authors – and the result of these collaborations is always an original. In collaboration with Vitra, the designers dedicate their time, expertise, and craftsmanship to the development and launch of new products.
Following in the tradition and spirit of Charles and Ray Eames, the sustainability of design is central to all activities at Vitra. The family-run company believes in the power of designs that forgo stylistic trends and eliminate superfluous details. The longevity of Vitra products is the combined result of their design, function, and quality. Vitra products are designed and developed in Switzerland. The products are manufactured in Germany and other European countries with EU-sourced components, using materials that are strictly tested for quality and longevity.
