I Want To Go To There: VitraHaus, Germany

The VitraHaus has opened!

Do drop in and experience the Vitra Home Collection in its new home – the VitraHaus by Herzog & de Meuron.

The VitraHaus is a place where you can explore your sense of design. The products in the Vitra Home Collection are arranged according to a variety of living and working situations – classics by designers Charles & Ray Eames, George Nelson, Isamu Noguchi, Jean Prouvé and Verner Panton along with contemporary designs by Maarten Van Severen, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Antonio Citterio, Hella Jongerius, Jasper Morrison and others. Here you can find inspiration for your own home furnishings and also try out, order and buy furniture and other objects on site.

In the VitraHaus you'll find information about our production and quality control. You'll also learn about Vitra's attitudes to sustainability and its approach to the world of work and to its office chairs. Our colour laboratory will assist you in choosing the right colours. In its exhibition "Ein Blick in die Sammlung des Vitra Design Museums" (A Look at the Vitra Design Museum Collection), the VitraHaus showcases a selection of 19th and 20th century chair designs. The Vitra Design Museum Shop features items, accessories and books that may be purchased on site, and you may enjoy fresh local specialities every day at the VitraHaus Café.

So the VitraHaus is a place to learn, to try out, and to consume – an experiential space in which furnishing is accorded the importance it deserves as a means of providing your private life with a place where you feel safe and secure.
