Design Furniture
Vitra is a Swiss company that has been manufacturing designer furniture since 1957.
Vitra is particularly known for publishing furniture by Charles & Ray Eames, as well as several classics by Verner Panton, Eero Saarinen, Jean Prouvé, George Nelson, Isamu Noguchi and Alexander Girard, as well as more recent works by contemporary designers like Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Hella Jongerius, Antonio Citterio, Jasper Morrison, Maarten Van Severen, etc.
The story of Vitra begins in 1953, when Swiss entrepreneur Willi Fehlbaum discovered furniture by Charles and Ray Eames in a store in New York. Immediately attracted, he contacted the publishing company Herman Miller. In 1957, Vitra began licensed production of the Herman Miller collection, which also included designs by George Nelson, Alexander Girard and Isamu Noguchi.
In the early 1960s, Willi Fehlbaum met Danish designer Verner Panton, looking for a manufacturer for a revolutionary cantilevered plastic chair project.
After years of research, the sculptural Panton chair was marketed in 1967, the first product developed by Vitra. It is and the first chair made entirely of plastic molded in one piece.
In 1984, the partnership with Herman Miller ended by mutual agreement and the production and distribution rights for furniture by Charles & Ray Eames and George Nelson, as well as textiles by Alexander Girard, returned exclusively to Vitra for the Europe and the Middle East. Building on the success of the Panton Chair, Vitra will collaborate with other designers as publisher and manufacturer.
