Herzog & de Meuron will build for a Vitra company

New showroom for designers company Vitra in a complex of showing rooms in Weil am Rhein, Germany, will be build from next September by duo Herzog & de Meuron. Authors have based their design on the local standard house typology extruded and stacked in an irregular pile. Interiors are designed primarily as the private home, not such as a conventional hall or museum, but rather in an environment suited to character and use of designers objects.
