The VitraHaus

the design giant's rather special new German home.....

The VitraHaus

Founded in Germany, 1950 as a family company, the now Swiss owned design giant, Vitra, have manufactured design classics from the likes of Charles & Ray Eames and in 1987 launched their highly coveted Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany… the fantastically unique building being Frank Gehry’s first European work. Seemingly taking a lead from Gehry’s iconic design, their stately new super-showroom, also located in Weil am Rhein, is a series of traditional house style structures elegantly stacked upon one another, designed by the talented Swiss architects behind Munich’s sensational Allianz Arena, Herzog & de Meuron. Housing a café, design museum shop and their entire Vitra Home Collection, the VitraHaus is the perfect place to be inspired by the staggering amount of inspirational design products that Vitra offer… in fact, being located just steps away from their world famous design museum, it’s the perfect place to just come and be inspired… full stop.
