Vitra Design Museum

I had a fantastic day at the VITRA Campus and enjoyed touring the entire facility along with the architecture tour. Great to see so many VITRA and Artek products on display and I particularly liked the designer showcase. Our guide was fantastic as was morning coffee and lunch. A day really well spent for lovers of design, quality furniture & architecture! The on site flagship store is also a good spot to look at small accessories and books. 10/10

Visited the Vitra Museum and suddenly feel underqualified to own furniture. Every chair looks like it has a story. The buildings are so cool I kept pretending I was in a design documentary. Staff was lovely, though I’m convinced they judged my posture. 10/10 would return to sit on things I definitely can’t afford and call it “culture.”

The main museum is currently closed, as are several features on the walk. However, the Vitra Design Lounge in the House of Vitra is open. If you are a Herman Miller owner or fan and want to see how it's done in Europe, you should not miss this place!

Design lovers heads up! The Vitra campus is not only a great place to marvel at designs by Charles Eames and Antonio Citterio, but also a perfect spot for a summer picknick in the Piet Oudolf garden. Hungry? The Depot Deli in the Vita Schaudepot (by Herzog & de Meuron) has mouthwatering sandwiches and soups.

This museum’s building is already interesting to see. The whole area is beautifully designed and offers a lot to explore. The museum talks about fashion shows and how they developed over the years, from simple sales events to huge spectacles for everyone. It is all very well presented.

My life is complete! Visiting the Vitra Design Museum was an absolute bucket list and it delivered!! An abolsutely sensational showcase of interior design and furniture. Just make sure you remember to take a mat BEFORE climbing up the slide tower (unlike us)! The only problem is that it was impossible to get an Uber back to our hotel in Basel, and it was very difficult getting a taxi back! You're best to ask the staff to assist with this (I wished we did).

Really enjoyed my visit — a beautiful and inspiring place! I didn’t have enough time to explore the whole campus, but it definitely left me wanting to come back. The restaurant was also a pleasant surprise with a tasty menu, and the free parking 🅿️ is a big plus. Looking forward to returning soon!

I recommned this place any creative who feels stuck and wants to get inspired. I took one star off just because the slide was closed due to the weather. Would like to visit again.

This is a rather unique place. I am generally not a fan of contemporary design but this museum almost made me a convert. The arrangements were quite appealing and presented delightful ideas with respect to the use of space. The synergy of the pieces used was striking at times. Some of the displays on the side of the building that faced the pastoral surroundings across the road were very relaxing in their presentations. The wall-length windows allowed one to look out over the bucolic environs. You'll be tempted to sit all day staring out the window in those corners of the museum as they are intrinsically relaxing, playing to something seminal in the human spirit. The arrangement inspired by Alice in Wonderland was particularly memorable as it was undoubtedly one of the more peculiar designs on display. Eccentricity certainly comes to mind when in that portion of the museum. The verbiage providing historical perspectives relative to the evolution of design ideas was also of interest. If you are in the Basel area and have some time, this place is worth a visit, even if you're not particularly an interior design buff. It will only take 60 - 90 minutes to stroll through at a casual pace. If you are so inclined, there is also a nice café where you can get a coffee and sweet treat (or even lunch) to add to the enjoyment of your visit.

A top notch museum and shop. The merchandise is like IKEA for millionaires. The museum had an exhibition on clubs and music festivals. You can spend half a day here to have time to see everything (buy the combo ticket for both exhibits, it's worth it).

Wow what a gem! It's a little work to get here and it is outside of town. It is part of the factory complex and u don't often get to see a Gehry-designed museum in the middle of a beautiful countryside with vineyards in the background. The site is actually a collection of world class architecture literally set in a field in the middle of no where. The main museum hosts rotating exhibits focused on various designers. It is a wonderful space for that. There is a nearby restaurant and also a custom house where u can order vitra furniture. If uv ever wonder what all those iconic modern designs are. This is the place to learn how an Eames chair got to well an Eames chair ;-) While out of the way if ur visiting basel it is well worth the trip.

One of the best furniture design museums in the area! Big fan of the Vitra collection!
