Vitra Campus
Weil am Rhein, Germany

Project

2006-2009

Realization

2007-2009

Over the past few years Vitra has acquired a wide-ranging Home Collection. The quantity and variety of objects by many different designers led to the idea of building a showroom to present the items to the public. A shop, a cafe linked to the outside and conference rooms complete the program.
