Vitra Home Exhibition

2004

An exhibition of new products for the home at the Vitra site in Weil am Rhein, Germany.

Timeline

The Vitra Home collection is an extension of Rolf Fehlbaum’s conviction that the working environment can be more homely and more inspiring if it is more imaginatively furnished. Looking the other way, why shouldn’t the home be a more active environment and not just a place to eat, sleep and watch TV. The home collection is the beginning of a panoramic approach to the furniture business, providing solutions for all aspects of daily life from workplace to home via the contract market. Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec designed other pieces as part of the first collection, which was combined with Vitra’s portfolio of classics. It was shown initially at the Vitra factory, and then at the Milan furniture fair.
