Book Description

Vitra: The Anatomy of a Design Company

Author: Deyan Sudjic

This book offers an in-depth exploration of one of the world’s most innovative and influential design companies — Vitra.

Throughout the history of modern design and architecture, few companies have shaped global design culture as profoundly as Vitra. Since the 1950s, Vitra has collaborated with generations of designers — from Ray and Charles Eames to Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Ron Arad, Jasper Morrison, and Virgil Abloh — redefining the way we live and work through its forward-thinking approach and creative practice.

Written by renowned design critic Deyan Sudjic, Vitra: The Anatomy of a Design Company tells the story of three generations of the family behind Vitra. More than just a furniture manufacturer, Vitra embodies a cultural and social mission, influencing architecture, graphic design, photography, product design, and landscape design.

The book re-examines our understanding of design masters such as Jean Prouvé and Verner Panton, highlights Vitra’s early support for talents like Jasper Morrison and Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, and documents the company’s efforts to preserve the archives of Luis Barragán and Alexander Girard. It also chronicles the creation of the world-renowned Vitra Design Museum, a landmark of contemporary design culture.

Featuring a special essay by Karen Stein and striking photography by Iwan Baan, this 450-page volume includes over 400 images that vividly illustrate Vitra’s collaborations, its architectural heritage at Vitra Campus (with works by Tadao Ando, Herzog & de Meuron, Álvaro Siza, and others), and the company’s enduring philosophy of design excellence.

More than a company chronicle, this book is a definitive reference on contemporary design history — a profound reflection on how design can drive both business innovation and cultural progress, revealing the creative and intellectual process behind great design.
