About

Creating innovative products and concepts with great designers is Vitra’s essence. They are developed in Switzerland and installed worldwide by architects, companies and private users to build inspirational spaces for living, working as well as public areas. A family business for eighty years, Vitra believes in lasting relationships with customers, employees and designers, durable products, sustainable growth and the power of good design. Vitra conveys its philosophy and expertise through architecture, exhibitions, publications and workshops. The remarkable ensemble of the Vitra Campus’ contemporary architecture brings together the commercial and cultural aspects of the Swiss furniture manufacturer. And the Vitra Design Museum is dedicated to the research and presentation of design, past and present, and examines its relationship to architecture, art and everyday culture. Vitra upholds a culture of care and diligence. Sustainability is not a project or a corporate goal, it's an entrepreneurial attitude that finds expression in every activity.
