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 based near Basel, Switzerland. Starting in 1981, the design brand Vitra grew and opened many subsidiaries worldwide. The founders had spotted Eames Lounge Chairs by Charles and Ray Eames during a trip to New York, USA. They were immediately captivated and therefore requested a license to produce these pieces of furniture in Europe. In 1956, Vitra acquired this license, which became one of the keys to the brand's success.
