At this year's Milan furniture fair,
Vitra presented new products stemming from collaborations with
Antonio Citterio,
Hella Jongerius,
Jasper Morrison,
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec and
G-Star. The result is a confident new collection with a strong sense of accessibility - enhanced by Vitra's welcoming stand design at the Salone.
