Where sustainability and circular entrepreneurship come together

With the launch of the Vitra Circle Store in 2017, Vitra deepened its vision of conscious consumption and the lasting value of original design. Since 1950, the Swiss brand has built a collection that has shaped design history, featuring icons by Ray & Charles Eames, Jean Prouvé, and Alexander Girard, alongside contemporary voices such as Hella Jongerius, Konstantin Grcic, and Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec.

Each year, Vitra gathers pieces from showrooms, photoshoots, and incorrect deliveries. Where these items might once have been simply discounted, they now receive the care and attention they deserve. At the Circle Store, they are professionally cleaned, repaired, and restored.

The result: authentic Vitra objects given a second life, with a two-year warranty and a price that invites design enthusiasts to make sustainable choices — without compromising on aesthetics or quality.
