We don’t just make furniture – we create design history.
For more than 100 years, we have invited pioneering architects and designers to develop new furniture with us. We’re proud to have worked with some of the most progressive designers of their time, creating products that combine function, ergonomics and distinctive design – and continue to shape learning and working environments today.
Wilhelm Rettig was our first design partner, developing the Rettig Bench – one of Germany’s best-known early school furniture designs.
Verner Panton paved the way for chairs that combine ergonomics, comfort and distinctive design.
Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel brought his distinctive design approach to VS, creating the JUMPER chair family with us.
How do classrooms become inspiring learning environments with maximum flexibility? This question has long preoccupied the American David A Stubbs II.
His passion: making schools better, for more creativity, health and well-being. The way to achieve this: cheerful, modular furniture that opens up the space in all its possibilities.
German architect and professor Egon Eiermann collaborated with VS in the 1950s on the Egon Eiermann Collection.
Architect Stefan Behnisch is known for resource-conscious architecture designed around people and wellbeing.
Long-term VS design partner Günter Behnisch designed our company headquarters with an approach centred on openness and freedom.
