RIMOWA Teams up With Vitra For Limited-Edition Collection
RIMOWAandVitrahave revealed a limited-edition collection made up of two pieces: a mobile stool, and a toolbox. Marking the first collaboration between the German luggage manufacturer and Swiss furniture brand, the two pieces are inspired by the 'rhythm of modern life', and are designed to be multifunctional, while also paying homage to both brands' work with aluminium. They're also designed to be mobile, especially in the case of the stool, which is set upon the brand's Multiwheel system. The outer shell is distinctly RIMOWA, and is crafted iconic grooved aluminium, while the interior is typically Vitra, and is upholstered with fabric and organised into storage sections. An upholstered pad can be added to the top, allowing the movable storage system to turn into a comfy perch. 'Vitra enters very few collaborations hence the brands we collaborate with has to resonate with our values, our design approach and our aesthetics – there has to be an obvious common ground,' Christian Grosen Ramussen, Chief Design Officer at Vitra, told Hypebeast. 'That said differences are also crucial since that's what creates the spark, the surprise and the new. In a collaboration there has to be synergies for the brands involved. 1 plus 1 must equal 3 or even more. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.' The toolbox is a riff on the Vitra Toolbox designed by Arik Levy in 2010, but instead of being formed from recylced plastic (as standard), it comes in RIMOWA's signature anodized aluminium. Again, as a nod to Vitra's upholstery expertise, the compartments are lined with recycled fabric. The collaboration doesn't end at the design of the pieces: both are jointly manufactured at RIMOWA and Vitra's factories in Cologne and Weil am Rhein respectively. 'Vitra and RIMOWA are two iconic brands known for their material expertise and distinctive design,' adds RIMOWA CEO Hugues Bonnet-Masimbert. 'Sharing a passion for durability and craftsmanship, this collaboration perfectly embodies the essence of 'design' – where innovation and aesthetics come together.' The Aluminium Stool and the Aluminium Toolbox will be launching on June 18th, 2025, accompanied by an installation on the Vitra Campus. The Aluminium Stool will retail at €2,200 with 1000 pieces available, while the Aluminium Toolbox will be priced at €550, and limited to 100 pieces. Both will be available exclusively in Europe via and at selected flagships worldwide.
