Vitra
Swiss by birth, Vitra is a unique company in many ways. Unique in its home collections, light and colorful; unique in its office furnishings, which combine in a masterful implementation design and ergonomics; unique for the designer parterre that enriches its catalog. Among prestigious historical re-enactments and fruitful collaborations, Vitra has always had the ability to relive the past and project to the future. However, Vitra is unique above all for Rolf Fehlbaum's corporate address, where the company transcends the business to fulfill wider social and cultural functions: the creation of a unique project such as Vitra Campus and the annexed Vitra Design Museum is an example.Read more

A peculiar and amazing poetics, perfectly expressed in works such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein and the Wall Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, which earned him the victory of the Pritzker Prize in 1989, the highest world recognition for an architect. He is the bearer of an equally surprising taste for unusual and apparently poor materials, both in architecture and in his few design projects, made with Knoll and Vitra, where he gives life to furniture made with cardboard or with thin strips of maple wood.Read more
