VitraHaus The VitraHaus, a striking building designed by Basel-based architects Herzog & de Meuron, is Vitra’s flagship store and also serves as a field of experimentation. To commemorate the ten-year anniversary of the VitraHaus in 2020, Vitra has encapsulated the experiences and insights of the past decade in a new interior. Under the current provisions, visitors have access to the all levels of the VitraHaus, the shop on the ground floor and can also book an appointment for a personal product consultation. The VitraHaus Café can only be visited with proof of one of the 3Gs ( fully vaccinated, recovered or tested).
Vitra Design MuseumThe major Vitra Design Museum exhibition »German Design 1949–1989: Two Countries, One History« is open to visitors daily from 12 to 5pm beginning on 20 March 2021. More than thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Vitra Design Museum presents the first panoramic overview of post-war design in the two Germanies. From 20 March to 5 September 2021, the exhibition »German Design 1949–1989: Two Countries, One History« will offer a comparative selection of design from East and West Germany and explore ideological and aesthetic differences as well as parallels and interrelations between East and West. Exhibits range from iconic pieces of furniture and lamps to graphic, industrial, and interior design to fashions, textiles, and personal ornaments.
Vitra Design Museum GalleryThe exhibition »Memphis: 40 Years of Kitsch and Elegance« is currently on display in the Vitra Design Museum Gallery. The Italian design collective Memphis was one of the most unusual phenomena to emerge in the realm of design over the past decades. The exhibition celebrates the fortieth anniversary of the group’s founding with a presentation of furniture, lamps, bowls, drawings, sketches, and photographs that offer new perspectives on the world of Memphis. Exhibits include works by Ettore Sottsass, Michele De Lucchi, Martine Bedin, Michael Graves, Barbara Radice, Peter Shire, Nathalie Du Pasquier, and Shiro Kuramata.
