This day is coming closer. This day has a date – this date is September 17th. On September 17th, the first ever factory sale is taking place on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (D) from 9am till 6pm, just 7 km from Basel (CH). Products from the Home Collection and design classics, which have been on display in the VitraHaus or used for photo shoots will be up for sale with reductions of up to 65%!

The first exhibition in the Vitra Design Museum Gallery is dedicated to the Italian designer Ettore Sottsass. Under the title "Ettore Sottsass - Enamels 1958", curated by Fulvio and Napoleone Ferrari, the show presents an aspect of his work that is still largely unknown: works in enamel created primarily in the 1950s, along with related drawings. This exhibition is also an attractive complement to the major exhibition that is currently on display in the Museum: "Zoom. Italian Design and the Photography of Aldo and Marirosa Ballo", in which Sottsass is represented with numerous furnishings and other objects.
