Where sustainability and circular entrepreneurship come together

With its Circle Stores in Brussels, Amsterdam and on the Vitra Campus, the Swiss furniture company Vitra puts sustainable management principles into practice by giving its products a second life. The Circle Stores sell used items from i.e. showrooms, exhibitions or photo shootings, thereby putting them back into circulation. The prices depend on the condition of the products. If you are looking for a specific piece, the entire range can be viewed online before your visit, purchases have to be made in-store.

Vitra Circle Store Zaandam

Visit the Vitra Circle Store in Zaandam where you can count on expert interior advice from our shop manager every Friday and Saturday for the design of your living room, home office, etc. You can take your time to test the products and view any signs of wear up close. After electronic payment, you can take your purchases home with you the same day and the product can start its second life. If needed, transport has to be arranged individually. We apply the principle 'first come, first served' and for that reason cannot accept reservations.
