Vitra uses the identity of the individual as means of exploring today’s design needs. Meeting the needs of the person with all the aspects of his personality means establishing both an inner and a spatial balance. This emphasizes the main places in which the individual acts, creates and expresses himself: at home, at work and in all the contexts of free time. The deepest shades of personality emerge when the individual is oneself and feels comfortable; often the best context for establishing this condition is at home. This is why Vitra chooses to furnish the home space with a mix of styles, shapes and colors. The same happens in the office, the environment that communicates the identity of the company representing the set of knowledge and skills of its employees: an essential wealth which can be truly expressed through design.
