Vitra

Vitra was established in 1950 in Switzerland, but its history really began when, during a visit in the US, its founder – Willi Fehlbaum – saw a chair designed by Charles and Ray Eames in a shop window. He then met the designer couple in person, and their friendship, which started on that day, changed the face of Vitra, giving birth to the creative dialogue between the brand and the famous creators which continues to this day. One of the effects of this dialogue is Vitra Campus, the company’s seat in Weil am Rhein, with its spectacular buildings by such designers as Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid and Tadao Ando. Vitra is a family business, now managed by the third generation.

Vitra worked with the best of the best: Verner Panton, George Nelson, Jean Prouvé, Frank Gehry, Jasper Morrison, Charles and Ray Eames, Ron Arad, Alberto Meda, and the Bouroullec brothers. Many of the brand’s products, such as the famous Panton Chair, or the Aluminium Chair designed by the Eameses, are considered design icons of the 20th century.

Vitra learnt in innumerable projects how to enhance the efficiency and performance in an office. This process includes various phases in which Vitra works together with a good team of experienced specialists: with consultants, interior designers, light and acoustic planners, designers and office planners.

Vitra furniture became part of our numerous projects in such shopping centres as: Aleja Bielany, Zielone Arkady, Atrium Copernicus and offices: Pernod Ricard, JLL, Google, PWC.
