Be a good host!
Hospitality
Rooms and their furnishings influence how we feel, our mood and our behaviour. Furnishing is more than mere furniture, and we at Vitra see our task in understanding, improving and guiding the signals given out by objects and rooms. Against this background, we are convinced that guests ought to feel at home and as comfortable as possible in hotels. Vitra has always stayed true to the motto of designer Charles Eames “Be a good host!” and interprets the furniture-maker’s relationship to its customers as a host-guest relationship. This attitude finds its expression in hotels, where we help hosts to offer their guests a special experience. For more than 50 years, Vitra has developed functional and inspiring concepts and furniture – for living spaces, the office and public areas. Furnishings and products from Vitra help to set a unique stage for rooms, making them distinctive and in this way giving the hotel as much added value as the guest.

At home in the hotel
A reliable partnership
Temporary installations
With Vitra’s wide-ranging product portfolio, in which classics join designs by contemporary designers to form a broad range, rooms can be furnished to go beyond any stereotypical hotel atmosphere. The principle here, as in private living spaces, is that only an individual collage of furniture, objects and accessories can bring rooms to life, reflecting the personality of the owner of the hotel or restaurant, and giving them character.
Vitra has gained its experience and expertise in countless projects all over the world and is a competent partner from the planning stage to after-sales service. Vitra products are top quality, but their longevity is also due to an aesthetics that is not oriented to trends and as a result still comes over as contemporary for years after. Cooperation with some of the world’s leading designers provides the guarantee for this painstaking formal design – and for a product standard geared to security norms, sustainable development and ergonomic qualities.
Temporary installations at events, congresses and trade shows not only call for functional tables and chairs that can be stacked, joined or numbered. With flexible, acoustically protected retreat zones for discussions or phone calls and visual partitions, Vitra’s products can also be used to realise an unusual design experience – and ensure a successful event.

At work in the hotel The digitalisation of the working world arrived in the hotel office a long time ago. As a result, retreat and meeting zones are required for uninterrupted work and meetings. In this area, Vitra offers mature and flexible solutions.
