Vitra has always been convinced that part of the value and utility of a piece of furniture is naturally contingent on the assurance that neither its production, nor its use, nor its disposal has a harmful effect on the consumer. The essential task of design is defined as much by ecology as it is by beauty and functionality. If the relationship of an object with nature is toxic, then it doesn't work at all.
The task group “Vitra and the Environment” was established in 1986. Yet this date does not mark the beginning of Vitra's efforts to protect the environment. They existed even before there was a term for it.

Alongside Sottsass and Memphis, the Vitra Collection also features Panton and Kuramata, Aalto and Arad, as well as Pesce and Colombo. It even stretches back to the early days of industrial production, with, for example Thonet, and further still. A company less driven by curiosity would ask: Why invest so much time and effort in preserving a heritage one can also regard as economic competition?
