Velocity is pleased to have offered Vitra products since our conception in 1999. Vitra designs the places where people work - be in the office, at home, or on the road. The goal: to make the place of work as appealing, productive and healthy as possible. Vitra's furniture is to be found in countless successful companies and organizations, as well as in the homes of many private individuals with a feel for design. Active internationally, we work together with the major designers of the day. For over 50 years now we have been manufacturing the furniture created by the famous US designers, Charles and Ray Eames.

Vitra is convinced that rooms and interior design have a decisive influence on people's motivation, performance and health. So Vitra has made it their mission to develop furniture and furnishing systems that stimulate, inspire and motivate, while also offering the body comfort, safety and support.Vitra experiments with new ideas, and are continuously tackling the new challenges of the world of work.

Vitra's contribution to ecological conservation does not stop with a close examination of materials and processes. All aspects of the company's work involve ecological thinking. In 1991, they set up an internal ecology committee to discuss environmental topics. This team identifies new tasks, and its project teams work together to find solutions. For example, Vitra uses only non-CFC foams and adhesives free of toxic solvents; all possible materials are recycled. Wherever possible, we use recycled materials. Vitra's goal during production is to minimize noise and emission levels as well as to reduce waste. Packaging materials are kept to a minimum and re-used as often as possible. In March, 1997, Vitra voluntarily had an eco-audit of the company. They believe their most important contribution is the fact that they insist on producing durable products of the highest quality and with a timeless design. This means Vitra's products can give their owners years of service.

Design is the process by which almost all objects in our surroundings are instilled with a specific design and function - from cars to paper clips, from clothing to chairs. And design does not just mean giving things a shape. Design creates the basis which enables things to function in the desired manner. It is a process in which complementary but often mutually contradictory requirements have to be met (comfort, technology, ergonomics, ecology, economics, aesthetics...). Design can be successful only when the balance of all these factors is attained.

Velocity Art And Design is proud to offer Vitra's furniture, miniature chairs, George Nelson clocks, books, lighting, and accessories to our clients.
