VitraHaus is the new home for Vitra’s Home Collection, which includes furnishing design classics as well as re-editions and products by contemporary designers. Responsible for this striking building are Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, who -among others- designed Tate Modern in London.
Τhe five-storey building is located inside the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany and its neighbors are the Vitra Design Museum by Frank Gehry and the Conference Pavilion by Tadao Ando.At first glance, it looks like a pile of houses, almost chaotic, but this three-dimensional creation is stricty loyal to the norms of the archetypal house, since its primary purpose is to present furnishings and objects for the home. Internally, spiral staircases connect the intersecting white-painted interiors.
