Storage Locker
vitra > Chair
The Storage Locker system facilitates non-territorial workflows: employees who do not have individually assigned desks come into the office, take their work materials out of the lockers, store their personal things there and securely lock the locker with their own PIN code.

Its rounded form exudes comfort and yields a calming influence on the fast-paced dynamic of today's offices.

Miniatures Wiggle Side Chair
vitra > Styling
As early as the 1960s, cardboard furniture emerged as a cheap and light alternative to traditional furniture. At that time, slotting and folding as well as supports were used to ensure that the cardboard could bear sufficient weight. Nevertheless, cardboard furniture hardly had a chance against plastic furniture, which was equally light. <br/><br/>Frank O. Gehry discovered a process which enabled cardboard furniture to be made in massive blocks – cardboard sculptures, as it were. »One day I saw a stack of corrugated cardboard in my office; it was the material I used to build my architectural models. And I started playing around with it, gluing it together and then cutting it into shape with a handsaw and a pocket-knife«. Gehry called the material made of corrugated cardboard glued in layers that ran at right angles to each other »Edge Board«. In 1972 he brought out a series of extraordinarily stable cardboard furniture called »Easy Edges«.

Rookie High
vitra > Chair
Rookie High translates the advantages of the Rookie office chair to standing table height. Pleasantly comfortable, it adapts quickly and easily to each user with the aid of minimal elements and functions. The ability to alternate between sitting and standing postures at office desks and in meetings ensures optimum ergonomics – and when it is the user that changes position, rather than the table top, the action is spontaneous and dynamic.<br/><br/>The seat, backrest and steel foot ring are vertically adjustable, and the latter serves as a practical support when sitting or standing. This makes Rookie High an excellent choice for any environment in which people wish to engage at eye level, whether they are seated or not – for example in offices and meeting rooms or at touch-down workstations.

Petite Potence
vitra > Styling
Jean Prouvé created the first version of the Potence wall lamp for his own home in Nancy: a simple light bulb affixed to a long, pivoting steel bar, which is held by a steel wire. This functionalist, puristic design was soon produced in various sizes, with an added handle on larger models to facilitate the swivel movement. <br/><br/>Petite Potence has similar proportions to the larger model Potence, while its compact dimensions are ideally suited to smaller interiors. The swing arm is 103 cm long, with a powder-coated finish in colours derived from the originial hues used by Prouvé.

Historical photos of Jean Prouvé’s house show that he experimented with different types of lamp shades, including designs by others.<br/><br/>Abat-Jour Conique is the first lampshade designed for Potence by Prouvé in 1947 and is intended for use with the Potence and Petite Potence lamps. It is simply fitted over the light bulb and can be removed again when needed.

vitra > Chair
RE designates the HAL model with a seat shell made of recycled plastic. Utilising this recycled material from household waste instead of conventional plastic generates less climate-damaging emissions, with a reduction in energy consumption.

Miniatures LCW
vitra > Styling
In 1940, Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen developed a chair with a novel plywood seat molded into a three-dimensional form for a competition sponsored by the New York Museum of Modern Art. However, it was not possible to produce the chair commercially, due to inadequate technical methods. It was seldom possible to press the plywood into a three-dimensional form without it breaking or splitting. During the following years, Charles and Ray Eames concentrated their efforts on developing a new method.<br/><br/>The plywood chairs DCW (Dining Chair Wood) and LCW (Lounge Chair Wood) are the result of this long-term experimentation. In 1945, Charles and Ray Eames returned to the idea of a seating shell made out of molded plywood; however the results were unsatisfying. They dispensed with the multifunctional shell and divided the seat and back into separate, freely articulated elements connected by a spine (frame). Each element has a clearly defined function, which it fulfills optimally with a minimum amount of material. »Shock mounts« – rubber disks bonded onto the wooden surface – connect the seat and back with the frame, which exists in wood or metal and in two different heights, either as a dining chair or lounge chair.
Nuage
vitra > Styling
The Nuage vases produce an attractive interplay of light and shadow with their undulating shape and anodised aluminium finish in various colours.
