Brand Concept

Established in Birsfelden, Switzerland in 1950 by Willi and Erika Fehlbaum, Vitra operates on the conviction that good design improves the quality of life and that the best design is both practically and aesthetically enduring. Treating designers as 'authors' rather than employees, Vitra collaborates with independent creative talent worldwide to produce furniture for home, office, and public spaces that forgoes stylistic trends and remains relevant across generations.
