VITRA

Vitra was founded in 1950 by Willi Fehlbaum and Erika Fehlbaum. The design furniture company Vitra is based near Basel, S ...witzerland. 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. Vitra designed a chair that would become a cornerstone of design furniture. The idea was to take inspiration from chairs found in English clubs and transform them into something contemporary and comfortable. Vitra has set itself the mission of developing healthy, intelligent, and sustainable solutions for communities and living spaces. In 1960, Willi Fehlbaum began producing a new kind of plastic chair, which led to the company’s success. Since then, the technical expertise of Vitra has been combined with the creativity of renowned designers such as Alexander Girard, Charles & Ray Eames, who created the greatest classics of the 20th century; Verner Panton, and the Bouroullec brothers. Vitra pieces are envisioned by these designers from around the world who offer innovative furniture designs. Thanks to these many collaborations, the use of excellent work tools and materials, Vitra promises its clients products of exceptional quality and long-lasting durability. Vitra places great importance on the details of their creations. "Details are not details, they make the product," is their motto. Each Vitra creation is made following the principles of sustainability, timelessness, and exemplary quality. Vitra is renowned for its quality and longevity. The design furniture brand publishes the classics of Eames such as the DAW, DSR, DCW, RAR and Eames Lounge Chair. The name Vitra is inseparable from certain design lines, such as the famous plastic chairs designed by Charles & Ray Eames and the Panton Chair by Verner Panton. The latter is considered a design classic and can be found at the MoMA in New York. Additionally, many celebrities have sat on Vitra chairs, bringing attention to the brand.
