Stühle zum (Be)Sitzen, a smow Pop-up at the Grassi Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Leipzig

...As is the synthetic plastic employed in the Eames RAR that stands, rocks, literally and physically, next to Rietveld's Crate Lounge Chair; a RAR, a member of an Eames' 1950 plastic shell chair family, whose (hi)story is also a succinct overview of the use of synthetic plastics in furniture: originally in fibreglass, at that time an achingly novel material, and, arguably, the first synthetic plastic to enable the production of durable furniture in synthetic plastics, before considerations on the ecological sustainability and impact of fibreglass saw production switch to polypropylene, which itself began to be increasingly questioned in context of its ecological sustainability and impact, questioning which saw Vitra switch production of the Eames plastic shells in 2024 to a novel synthetic plastic won from recycled waste... A 1950s Denmark that also saw the origins of considerations on the possibility of a chair that it would be 1967 before it was realised and 1968 before it became a series product: Verner Panton's eponymous chair through Vitra...

Tsuyoshi Tane: The Garden House in the Vitra Design Museum Gallery and on the Vitra Campus, Weil am Rhein

...1 The exhibition Tsuyoshi Tane: The Garden House in the Vitra Design Museum Gallery, and the eponymous Garden House by Tsuyoshi Tane, the latest addition to the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, allow one to approach not only a better appreciation of Tane's positions but also to experience how they influence and inform his approach, his works, his architecture... For all that Vitra is popularly associated with Weil am Rhein, Germany, the company's origins are to be found just across the border in Switzerland, specifically in Birsfelden on the edge of Basel, the association with Weil am Rhein being first forged in the early 1950s, a period when Vitra was still, primarily, a shop-fitting company, if one taking its first, tentative, steps into domestic interiors alongside retail interiors...

Living in a Box. Design and Comics @ the Vitra Design Museum Schaudepot, Weil am Rhein

..." Elegantly proving us very, very wrong the Vitra Design Museum's exhibition Living in a Box... How much a fan of modernism Tove Jansson is/was is much more questionable, not only does Moominmamma in telling Moominpappa not to move an object because "Mr Interior Decorator said it balances the green door", indicate a distrust of the dogmatic inflexibility of the modern leaning interior decorator that developed in the course of the post-War decades, a distrust that even a George Nelson shared, a dogma against which the Eames' reacted with their own home interior, and a position which also reminds of the tale "When Verner Panton decorated [then] Vitra CEO Rolf Fehlbaum's flat"...

Vitra Schaudepot: A New Home for the Vitra Design Museum Collection

...With the opening of the Vitra Schaudepot the Vitra Campus has not only grown by a further building, but the Vitra Design Museum has realised a long held dream, that of an exhibition space in which to present their collection in its full extent; or at least in a much fuller extent than has currently been possible... The Vitra Design Museum collection traces its origins back to 1981 when the then Vitra CEO Rolf Fehlbaum began buying historic examples of works by Charles & Ray Eames, Alvar Aalto and Jean Prouvé for his own interest; and has developed into a collection of some 20,000 objects, including around 7,000 chairs and 1,000 lamps from across genres, generations and geographic divides...
