The VitraHaus is the showroom, experimental area and flagship store of the Swiss furniture manufacturer. It has been completely redesigned for its tenth anniversary and Vitra is looking forward to welcoming visitors again every day from 12 to 5 pm from 17 August 2020. At the same time, the new Campus App is also available in the App Store.
The VitraHaus, designed by Basel architects Herzog & de Meuron, is the showroom, experimental area and flagship store of the Swiss furniture manufacturer. For its tenth anniversary, it has been completely redesigned and the knowledge and experience gained over the past decade has been translated into a new interior.
“The VitraHaus is a unique building that we have been working on for ten years now. During this time we have learned a lot - about the house and about interiors in general: What does the building want? What suits it? What are the recipes for a good room? What is missing in our collection to make an interior even more meaningful or attractive? The newly created interior reflects our answers to these questions.”
Tour of the site
On their tour of the VitraHaus, visitors experience living rooms of fictitious characters, stroll through the library, the designer village and the sofa area and can discover furnishing ideas everywhere. Various market places offer not only advice but also the opportunity to buy, and on the third floor you can follow the final stages of the production of Eames shell chairs.
Vitra Campus App
The Vitra Campus App is also new: a product scanner provides information about the products in the VitraHaus, a wish list collects favourite products and, if required, consultation appointments can be booked or tickets for the Vitra Design Museum, the show depot or an architectural tour can be purchased.
Since the 17 August 2020 the VitraHaus (except the loft on the 4th floor) will be open again and Vitra is looking forward to welcoming visitors daily from 12 noon to 5 pm. At the same time, the new Campus App will also be available in the App Store.
