Germany Vitra Design Museum
The Vitra Design Museum is a design museum in Weil am Rhein (Germany), on the border with the Swiss city of Basel. The legal form of the museum is a foundation. Rolf Fehlbaum, the owner of the Swiss furniture manufacturer Vitra, initially planned a building for a permanent exhibition of his collection of chairs and furniture. After meeting Alexander von Vegesack, it was conceived and realized as a design museum for changing exhibitions and events. Alexander von Vegesack was appointed the founding director of the museum and headed it from 1989 to 2010. During this time, the museum developed from Vegesack into an internationally renowned and leading address for design and architecture. From 2011 to 2020 the museum was managed by Mateo Kries and Marc Zehntner as co-directors. Under their joint management, the scope of the exhibitions and events was greatly expanded. In 2011 the Vitra Design Museum Gallery and in 2016 the Vitra Schaudepot were opened by Herzog & de Meuron. Since 2020, the Vitra Design Museum has been led by Mateo Kries as Director, with Sabrina Handler as Deputy Director and COO and Heiko Hoffmann as Head of Finance.
