Vitra Inc Reviews

A very rich and original site to visit for design enthusiasts.

The Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, near Basel, is located in a building designed by Canadian architect Frank Gehry and is one of the most important museums of architecture and industrial design in the world. More

The buildings of the great architects. very impressive.
The furniture exhibition space in the main building is very beautiful.

Both the depot and the museum were more than worth visiting. Entertaining and interesting.

Very cute. Visit on a sunny day. There is a cafe and great lawn restaurant.

Beautiful place at the confluence of the 3 flags: France, Germany and Switzerland!

Enjoy the terrasse of the Vitrahaus coffe in Sunny days. The cappuccino is quite good. You can have delicious lunch or brunch as well.

A unique experience. Architects must have been here.

I watched it from 2pm for 4 hours, but I was sorry for not staying longer.

Interesting designer exhibition of chairs and furniture. We often saw and sat on some chairs without knowing that they were designer pieces of furniture.
There is also a paid exhibition which we will visit soon.

My dream come true to know him. Impressive and beautiful everything

An amazing place. An architecture and design class.

The incredible place for the architects. There are a number of famous Architectural constructions by world famous architects. The chair designs by Eames is fantastic. You can explore and sit at the display center. Carry an umbrella if it's too sunny. And a water bottle. There are washrooms and restaurants available. There is a souvenir shop adjacent to the reception area. There is a guided tour option which is very helpful.

Fantastic architecture, great exhibition, great shop!

Buildings by international architects on harmonious campus on the outskirts of Weil am Rhein. Meseum with changing exhibitions. Schaulager with collection of the company Vitra.
Worth a longer visit!
Highly recommended tours.

As the Vitra center it's a really interesting place/museum for architects and students

Immerse yourself in a world we actually know .... Exciting and really cool.

Great exhibition over several floors. The slide, a few hundred meters from the museum, should definitely be tried.

Classic modern design, lots of ideas and beautyful objects, I liked it!

An astonishing space but in the end quite disappointing. Not much to see in reality.

A place where apart from seeing and being able to acquire some of the most recognized designer chairs in the world, you will have the opportunity to see and experience architecture at its best, raw works by great More

Really beautifull! Some exhibitions may be needed for free. The architecture of the buildings and the v chairs are unique!

Always great exhibitions and the surrounding is pleasant in rural Germany

Many interesting impressions, and a great way to discover new furniture.

A building with unique architecture, furnished with designer objects and exceptional furniture that you can test freely.

Paradise for anyone who love design or simply beautiful gorgeous things.

Design, art, evolution and good taste in an interesting and enjoyable tour. Safety pin.

Flag ship store and museum in one. For anyone who enjoys MCM furniture as well a trip down history lane, this is a place to visit.
The flag ship store truly something to enjoy - seeing pieces one may have, ones that one aspires and ones that are new. The lounge chair manufactoring room was awesome to see.
Oh and don't forget the slide - for adults or kids. It's like a water park slide except you go down on a carpet.

If you want to change your house in modern you go to Vitra and you see the beautiful collection it would be necessary to see window designates Museum

The Vitra Design Museum is already a classic, it has existed for so long. During this time it also developed, grew and the campus was added. The museum is a magnet for everyone who cares about design. You are always attracted to it, with constant fascination.

Vitra Campus and Depot Deli simply great ... Very international !!!

Unique experience. Immerse yourself in the history of very pleasant and interesting design.

The building does not have any inspiration because it is opened, but the exhibit is sharp.

Definitely worth a trip to learn about the history of the company and more generally about furniture and architecture

Successful furniture store for high-earners in museum style in great architecture

Creative and interesting museum. A highlight for our region.

Very nice furniture to look at and sample sitting. You can take some creative ideas with you.
Impressive building!

When traveling with kids, ask for the kids program. Amazing!

Wonderful experience enveloped in design. Great coffee. Nice food. A great place for a weekend morning or afternoon.

enjoyed a very different Easter Sunday. Vitra Cafe and Museum was open.
Was interesting and a pleasant atmosphere

The best of international design in a dedicated setting

Great place to chill during rainy day if you finished party and you are restless with your homies. So many chairs and couches you can sit on, wooow. I would like to rate each one of them one day. Only that stuff and people around sometimes gives strange looks, but who am I to judge them. That place has a great atmosphere. Not so much sphere but still good. Btw, you can hide in a giant teapot.

An inspiring place, created by a pioneer of the furnishing industry.

Amazing museum showing process, history and design of furniture. You could spend a whole day visiting their various buildings and campus, plus the cafeteria food was enjoyable.

Very nice to look at but you do not want to pay that.
You can formulate it in one sentence. It's like a super nice / expensive IKEA.

The campus is great to visit for young and old. It gives a crazy desire to redo its decoration and it is a must for lovers of design! The icing on the cake was that the family had the giant slide outside! The kids had too much fun and so did we;)

The paradise of every student of architecture! Beautiful campus open for free, while to enter the buildings and to pay the ticket

Vitra Design Museum is a must see venue for any design related person. I teach furniture making at Warwickshire College, England and therefore I am biased in this review. I studied furniture design and craftsmanship at university and this should have been a field trip venue whilst we were studying.
We paid for the architecture tour which was very a very informative 2 hour tour of the campus, with great snippets of information you would not necessarily gain walking round on your own and access to some parts of the site otherwise of limits. Nichole, our guide spoke perfect English and the tour flew by, my advice if it's sunny, is borrow a Vitra umbrella, that sun does bear down and we were grateful of some shade.
The architecture was not the main event for us, we enjoyed looking at buildings by prominent architects but as a furniture maker, the chairs were what we were here to see. There were displays of furniture in Zara Hadid's fire station and the Vitra haus and Eames leather chair assembly was great to see, but the Schaupot (chair museum) 'blew my mind'.
All my design history lessons kicked in, amazing chairs after amazing chairs are displayed in racks three high and grouped in decades. Wow, wow and wow.
Downstairs there is more to see , with a cabinet of drawers to open with materials and inspiration insights and Eames's office setup as it was in California. There are also windows that allow a glimpse of the vast archive of furniture and lighting which unfortunately are not accessible to tour on a general visit.
An amazing 6 hour trip for us!

Anyone interested in furniture design and architecture should visit the Vitra Campus. The buildings were designed by famous architects (Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, Duke + De Meuron). Beautiful outdoor areas where you can test different Vitra chairs. Good and friendly gastronomy.
