Vitra Schaudepot

We caught a terrific exhibit regarding the relationship of science fiction and furniture design. The peek into the archive below and recreation of the Eames office were also very meaningful. Recommend a visit here in addition to House.

Incredibly inspiring place and definitely worth visiting. I just wish we could see more of the collection.

Another great building by Herzog & de Meuron. In the basement you can see some of the collections of the Vitra Design Museum and most impressively the former office by Charles and Ray Eames from Los Angeles. I also enjoyed the exhibition on Science Fiction Design and especially the adjacent Barragan Gallery on the Mexican architect Luis Barragan (1902-1988). The adjacent Place Jean Prouvé is also great with Prouvé-designed swings (or Prouvé style).

Love the experience here. A huge collection of design pieces and creative storytelling.

Loved walking the campus in general but the space age collection is not to be missed. Amazing curation of historical objects and design facing a vision of a space age future.

Nice architecture buildings but not that wao! If you are an architect you should see the building and the architecture especially Nike and Zuha Hadid fire station

One of my favourite place in the whole campus. The scorpion chair was the highlight.

An absolute must for anyone interested in design. Even if you don’t like the chairs or architecture, there is no doubt that this company has produced some of the most iconic chairs in the world. The buildings on the campus are all great examples of some of the best architects living today. My only gripe with this place is that I didn’t have time to see it all. If you visit, it’s probably worth taking an architecture tour, as some buildings, such as the fire station by Zaha Hadid, are only accessible to tour groups. Mind you, if you don’t want to doll out the cash, you can still walk around it and even have a peek inside. The gift shop is full of general designy type stuff, and while it’s not extraordinary, there are some souvenirs that you might want to take home. The cafes have reasonable food at reasonable prices, so there’s no need to pack your lunch unless you’re on a tight budget. The cakes in the Herzog De Meuron building has the best cakes. In all, you should not miss this place, and be sure to give yourself plenty of time to take it all in.
