Vitra has manufactured furniture designs by Charles & Ray Eames and George Nelson since 1957. Building on this foundation over the years, the company has developed a wide range of furnishings for the office, for the home and for public spaces in collaboration with progressive designers.
 
Yet Vitra is more than just a design-oriented manufacturing company. The name also stands for the Vitra Design Museum, for a collection of modern furniture and its accompanying archive, for workshops and publications on topics of design, and for an architectural concept that unites buildings by Frank Gehry, Nicholas Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA at the Vitra Headquarters in Birsfelden (Switzerland) and on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany).

Greg Lynn, born 1964 in Ohio, USA, studied architecture and philosophy at Miami University of Ohio before earning a graduate degree in architecture at Princeton University. He worked in the offices of Antoine Predock and Peter Eisenmann between 1987-1991. In 1994 he founded the independent office Greg Lynn FORM in Hoboken, New Jersey, relocating it to Venice, California, in 1998. Projects and publications by Greg Lynn have made a key contribution to the understanding of the computer not merely as a efficient calculating tool, but as something that holds great and largely unexplored potential for the design process itself. Lynn held a professorship for urban planning and research at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) from 1999-2002, and has served as a professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna since 2002. He has also been a guest lecturer at Yale University's Graduate School of Architecture (New Haven, CT) and at the University of California's Graduate School of Architecture in Los Angeles (UCLA). Today Greg Lynn is considered to be one of the most prominent exponents of so-called Blob architecture, which is characterized by a biomorphic formal idiom.
