- What is Vitsœ?
A shelf is for life not just for Christmas…
July 2010
At Vitsœ, as we look to the festive season, we often find ourselves wondering how we can contribute to, and indeed encourage, a more sustainable Christmas-time. This year we venture that starting life with Vitsœ and living better, with less, that lasts longer is a good place to start.
So we have made the first step towards living better even easier for Christmas; for the first time, our starter collection will be available to pick up and take away from our Duke Street shop.
60s 606 is 50
June 2010
Supported by the Geffrye Museum, to honour the 50th anniversary of its 606 Universal Shelving System, Vitsœ journeys back through time to embrace the year 1960 during the London Design Festival.
It was in this year that a revolutionary young designer, Dieter Rams, created this timeless piece of furniture which would go on to become a humble design classic in its own right. Vitsœ presents the passage of time and asks why has this product endured? Are there any lessons for us today?
Vitsœ launches its online ‘starter collection’
April 2010
Vitsœ, the furniture company best known for the 606 Universal Shelving System designed by Dieter Rams, has launched its ‘starter collection’ that comprises four simple shelving configurations priced from £155 to £435 available to buy online at vitsoe.com.
Vitsœ’s renowned shelving system has often been referred to as “Lego for grown-ups” owing to the great flexibility in the positioning of shelves and cabinets on the elegant wall-mounted tracks. The fact that it is called a system is not accidental: you can add to it, rearrange it and, best of all, take it with you when you move.
A handsome new London shop
December 2009
2009 has been a busy year for Vitsœ. The furniture company best known for the 606 Universal Shelving System designed by Dieter Rams in 1960 celebrated its 50th anniversary with the launch of a new website, development of a retail partnership within Japan and by finding a new home on the streets of New York.
Now as the year draws to a close, it is with much pride that Vitsœ opens a new shop on its native soil in London, housed off Manchester Square at 3-5 Duke Street.
