Vitra Design Museum

Gallery: Typology: An Ongoing Study of Everyday Items

Today: Closed

07 December 2019 - 24 January 2021

Many objects are not designed by professional designers, but have evolved across the centuries. In 2016 four French product designers – Guillaume Bloget, Raphael Daufresne, Thélonious Goupil, and Guillaume Jandin – began to explore the history of product archetypes, documenting their results in their journal «Typologie». Their research on wine bottles and cork stoppers has shown that objects, too, are subject to evolution, adapting to their function and local conditions. The exhibition «Typology: An Ongoing Study of Everyday Items» at the Vitra Design Museum Gallery presents this research as well as a new project addressing wooden fruit and vegetable crates.

Opening Hours

Due to the spread of the coronavirus/COVID-19, the Vitra Campus (Vitra Design Museum, Schaudepot, VitraHaus and the restaurants VitraHaus Café und Depot Deli) in Weil am Rhein is closed to visitors from 2nd November 2020 until the end of the month.

Vitra and the Vitra Design Museum are obliged to take these necessary measures to protect visitors and employees on the Vitra Campus from infection with the coronavirus. Our medically assisted task force will continue to review our policy on a regular basis.

We hope that the current situation will soon improve and that we will be able to welcome you back to the Vitra Campus in December. As soon as the Vitra Campus reopens for visitors, we will communicate this on www.vitra.com/campus and www.design-museum.de

Institution

The Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein numbers among the world's leading museums of design. It is dedicated to the research and presentation of design, past and present, and examines design's relationship to architecture, art and everyday culture. In the main museum building by Frank Gehry, the museum annually mounts two major temporary exhibitions. In addition, smaller shows are presented in the Vitra Museum Gallery, which often follow a more contemporary and experimental approach.

Often developed with renowned designers, many of the museum's exhibitions cover highly relevant contemporary themes, such as future technologies, sustainability or questions like mobility and social responsibility. Others are presenting historical topics or monographic exhibitions on iconic designers.

The exhibitions are accompanied by lectures, guided tours, workshops and educational programmes. Many of the museum’s exhibitions travel to partner museums all over the world. The work of the Vitra Design Museum is based on its unique collection of furniture, lighting and interior design.
