Vitra was founded in 1950 by Willi Fehlbaum. Designer furniture company Vitra is located near Basel, Switzerland. Vitra grew in 1981 and launched a number of subsidiaries around the world.
Vitra’s mission is to develop healthy, intelligent and sustainable solutions for communities and housing. Vitra’s technical know-how is combined with the creativity of renowned designers such as Alexander Girard, Charles & Ray Eames who designed some the greatest classics of the 20th century, Verner Panton, and the Bouroullec brothers. Vitra pieces are created by designers from around the world.
Each Vitra creation is made according to the principles of durability, timelessness and exemplary quality. Vitra is renowned for the quality and longevity of its pieces. The designer furniture brand produces classics by Eames, such as chairs DAW, DSR, DCW and RAR, as well as the Eames Lounge Chair. The Vitra name is an integral aspect of a number of design lines. For example, the iconic plastic chairs designed by Charles & Ray Eames, and the Panton Chair by Verner Panton.
Vitra furniture is designed for all home and work environments. Vitra chairs work perfectly in both living rooms and dining rooms. It has also designed chairs for offices and conference rooms. Today, Vitra is a world-renowned brand that acts as a reference for design, furnishings and architecture.
A referential brand in the field of architecture and design, an entire culture has grown around Vitra's workshop. The Vitra Campus, which consists of Vitrahaus, Vitra Shaudepot and Vitra Museum, is a true design village. In recent years, the brand has created a workshop in the small town of Weil Am Rhein, Switzerland, with the aim of showcasing key pieces in the history of design and its implementation. Vitra enables enthusiasts to analyse the stylistic developments that objects have undergone on a daily basis over the last centuries, from chairs to armchairs and decorative accessories. The entire creation process for the Eames Lounge Chair, made in Switzerland, can be seen at the workshop.
