Vitra’s products have received numerous design-related awards by international organizations. The products have been used in numerous high-profile settings, including the plenary chamber of Germany, the Bundestag, the Tate Modern in London and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Check out some of the most iconic design furniture pieces by Vitra:
Heart Cone Chair – The Heart Cone Chair takes its name from its heart-shaped silhouette. The extended wings of the backrest are reminiscent of Mickey Mouse ears, but can also be interpreted as a contemporary development of the classic wingback chair.
Freeform Sofa – The Freeform Sofa was produced around 1950 in limited numbers. Today, the few remaining pieces achieve record prices at auction. Since 2002, it has been produced by the Vitra Design Museum as a fully authentic re-edition. The sofa is suitable not only for use in living spaces but also in lobbies, hotels, and retail shops.
AllStar Office Chair – Allstar contains the necessary functional features of an office chair: a synchronised mechanism with lockable positioning, seat depth and height adjustment, and an adjustable backrest. It comes in different colour versions. The base and fabric seat cushion are always black while the armrests and backrest are coordinated in various colour combinations. Allstar is also available with covers in leather.
Potence Wall Light – Designed as a pivoting wall lamp for the ‘Maison Tropique’, Potence is regarded as one of Jean Prouvé’s puristic masterpieces. The fascination of this luminaire, which is over two metres long and dimmable, stems from the spareness of its materials and forms.
Grand Repos and Ottoman – Jointly developed by Vitra and Antonio Citterio, the lounge chairs Repos and Grand Repos introduce a new level of comfort and flexibility to the home environment: with their generous padding, inviting armrests and high backrest, these elegant swivel-based lounge chairs impart an image of supreme comfort.
Trapèze Table – Trapèze table was originally developed for the Cité Universitaire in Antony near Paris and numbers among the final pieces created by the French ‘constructeur’ Jean Prouvé in the area of furniture design. The name of the table refers to the distinctive shape of its paired legs, which are constructed from bent sheet steel. Together with the thick, obliquely canted edges of the table top, they emphasise the solid appearance of the construction.
