11 March 2010
Closes 25 April 2010
Richard Hamilton has long held Dieter Rams’ work in high esteem and so it seemed fitting to be approached by London artist Giles Round for his studio project within the Richard Hamilton: Modern Moral Matters exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery.

"Timeless designs that encourage reuse"
24 February 2010
The ‘University of Cambridge Institute for Manufacturing’ writes:
“There are many examples of changing industrial practice.
We have chosen a range of cases that illustrate the scale of potential improvement and cover a range of sectors and operational scales. We do not claim that these examples are either best practice or ultimately sustainable.
Notwithstanding the significant levels of improvement the companies have achieved, each recognises that they are at the early stages of a long journey. In their different ways they have each looked into the future and identified a need to change, and targeted key aspects of their business for change.”

thescoutmag.com writes about our NYC shop
5 February 2010
“The stretch of Bond Street between Lafayette and Bowery is no stranger to design. It’s cobblestone road can lay claim to a surfeit of attractive shops and home to the first Herzog & de Meuron building in New York. The street’s intermingling of contemporary with classic is harmonious and natural, an extension of the city’s collective swagger. Set atop the venerable Dashwood Books, one gets the feeling that there is no locale more apt for Vitsœ’s first US showroom.

The Hell of the Ashdown
31 January 2010
Sunday 31 January 2010 was the third annual gathering of enthusiastic Vitsœ staff, customers and friends of Vitsœ at what is the cycling season’s first major Sportive of the year – The Hell of the Ashdown run by the Catford Cycling Club.
It was also the first outing for the new Vitsœ winter cycling jersey which was to prove itself worthy of the toughest of conditions, keeping all the riders protected in the coldest valleys and ensuring they could breath easy on the toughest of climbs.

Vitsœ resides in Parisian splendour
18 January 2010
From Monday 18 to Saturday 30 January 2010, we journey across the English Channel to set up temporary home in colette, 213 rue Saint-Honoré, Paris.
The well-known ‘corner’ space situated on the upper floor of the store has been earmarked for Dieter Rams’ timeless designs as the 50th anniversary year of our 606 Universal Shelving System dawns. While colette’s windows will host a tribute to Dieter Rams’s pared-back aesthetic as Under Cover presents Jun Takahashi’s spring/summer 2010 collection alongside Rams’s enduring shelving system.
