Completely in line with sustainability: In our Vitra Circle Stores, used Vitra products are refurbished and put back into circulation.
With Vitra Circle Stores in Brussels, Amsterdam and on the Vitra Campus, Vitra enables its products to have a second life cycle, thereby putting sustainable business practices into action.

"Vitra's greatest contribution to sustainability is creating products with an above-average lifespan, products that do away with anything superfluous. Our roots in Modernist design would not permit anything else."
Nora Fehlbaum, CEO of Vitra
The longevity of its products is central to Vitra's contribution to sustainable development; to create products with the longest possible lifespan, Vitra foregoes superfluous details and short-lived trends. The products are designed for easy recycling and to remain in circulation for a long time. This is most evident in the classics: Thanks to their aesthetic and functional longevity, they remain relevant and in use for decades, can change owners multiple times, and even become part of a collection.
