The Vitra Design Museum Collection is one of the most important
design collections in the world. It totals around 20,000 items,
including 7,000 pieces of furniture, over 1,000 lighting objects
and archives and estates from designers such as Charles and Ray
Eames, Verner Panton and Alexander Girard. In summer 2016, the
museum opened a building by architects Herzog & de Meuron to
permanently present this collection: the Vitra Schaudepot. The
centerpiece of the Schaudepot is a permanent exhibition of more
than 400 key objects of modern furniture design from 1800 to the
present. This presentation is complemented by smaller temporary
exhibitions on themes related to the collection, a material library
and an extensive digital catalogue. The Schaudepot constitutes the
largest permanent exhibition on modern furniture design and at the
same time a `transparent design museum', making visible the work of
the museum in all its facets. The publication sheds light on
different aspects of the Schaudepot. The iconic building is
illustrated in largescale photographs and drawings. The
presentation of the collection in the interior is likewise shown
using insightful imagery, augmented by a chronological overview of
the exhibited objects. Short essays embed the objects within the
context of design history and bring to light the curatorial
decision-making behind the presented objects. The book is an
attractive field guide through the history of furniture design and
act as a portal to understand the Vitra Design Museum's unique
collection - at the same time being the publication on one of the
latest buildings by star architects Herzog & de Meuron.
