Created by Raw-Edges for the furnishing and layout of an entire floor of the VitraHaus on the Vitra Campus, the Herringbone collection was born out of the studio's interest in the technique of immersion dyeing. Herringbone cushions create a cheerful atmosphere thanks to the use of light colours and captivating patterns, which are characterised by a very geometrical appearance, although they are handmade. Crossed and overlapping bands of varying colour intensity were obtained by multiple dips in dyes of different colours, the end result being the exact pattern of the printed design of the Herringbone cushions. Curated by Vitra, these cushions bring a bright touch to any interior.
Vitra was founded in 1950 by Willi Fehlbaum and Erika Fehlbaum. The design furniture company Vitra is located near Basel, Switzerland. Starting in 1981, the Vitra brand expanded and opened numerous subsidiaries around the world. The founders discovered the Vitra armchairs, including the Eames armchairs, the Vitra tables, and the office chairs created by Charles and Ray Eames, Antonio Citterio, and the Bouroullec brothers. They were instantly captivated and subsequently requested a license to produce these furniture pieces in Europe. In 1956, Vitra acquired this license, which became one of the cornerstones of the brand’s success.
