The exhibition tour to »Nike: Form Follows Motion« gives deep insights into Nike’s fascinating design history: from the company’s beginnings in the 1960s and the famous »Swoosh« logo to the innovative Air soles and current research on future materials and sustainability. The exhibition created by the Vitra Design Museum examines the meaning of sports in our society while also shedding light on the almost mythical devotion to sneakers and sportswear in popular culture and social media.

The unique ensemble on the Vitra Campus not only includes buildings by world-famous architects, but also gardens, sculptures and smaller buildings that break down the boundaries between the genres of architecture, art and design. Many of the places to be seen on the campus offer inspiration and practical ideas for a more sustainable approach to building and living.  For example, the »Garden House« by Tsuyoshi Tane, the »Oudolf Garten« by Piet Oudolf, the Tiny House »Diogene« by Renzo Piano and the recently built »Khudi Bari« by Marina Tabassum.

Die »Wunderkammer« zeigt eine Inszenierung von mehr als tausend Objekten aus der Sammlung von Rolf Fehlbaum, Vitra Chairman Emeritus und dem Schweizer Künstler Fifo Stricker. Wie ihre historischen Vorbilder vereint die Sammlungspräsentation der Wunderkammer auf dem Vitra Campus Kurioses und Kunstvolles aus der ganzen Welt. Bei aller Vielfalt und Verschiedenheit haben die von meist anonymen GestalterInnen erschaffenen Roboter, Weltraumspielzeuge, Comicfiguren, Folk-Art-Objekte und Werbematerialien einen gemeinsamen Ursprung in der Populärkultur des 20. Jahrhunderts. BesucherInnen des Vitra Campus können die versteckte Wunderkammer im Rahmen von Führungen entdecken.

Alongside the Vitra Schaudepot, also designed by Herzog & de Meuron, a second public area was created on the campus in 2016. Then, there are other works like the Conference Pavilion by Tadao Ando, a geodesic dome based on the designs of Richard Buckminster Fuller, a petrol station by Jean Prouvé, factory buildings by Nicholas Grimshaw, Álvaro Siza and SANAA and the Vitra Slide Tower by the artist Carsten Höller. Daily guided tours explain the backgrounds of architects and buildings alike.

Die »Wunderkammer« zeigt eine Inszenierung von mehr als tausend Objekten aus der Sammlung von Rolf Fehlbaum, Vitra Chairman Emeritus und dem Schweizer Künstler Fifo Stricker. Wie ihre historischen Vorbilder vereint die Sammlungspräsentation der Wunderkammer auf dem Vitra Campus Kurioses und Kunstvolles aus der ganzen Welt. Bei aller Vielfalt und Verschiedenheit haben die von meist anonymen GestalterInnen erschaffenen Roboter, Weltraumspielzeuge, Comicfiguren, Folk-Art-Objekte und Werbematerialien einen gemeinsamen Ursprung in der Populärkultur des 20. Jahrhunderts. BesucherInnen des Vitra Campus können die versteckte Wunderkammer im Rahmen von Führungen entdecken.

The exhibition tour to »Nike: Form Follows Motion« gives deep insights into Nike’s fascinating design history: from the company’s beginnings in the 1960s and the famous »Swoosh« logo to the innovative Air soles and current research on future materials and sustainability. The exhibition created by the Vitra Design Museum examines the meaning of sports in our society while also shedding light on the almost mythical devotion to sneakers and sportswear in popular culture and social media.

The Vitra Campus is a magnet for design and architecture enthusiasts. Few other places in the world can boast such a large number of contemporary architectural icons. It was here that Zaha Hadid created her very first structure in 1993 – the Fire Station – and American architect Frank Gehry constructed his first building in Europe in 1989. Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the VitraHaus of 2010 on the north side of the campus is an eye-catcher, even from afar. Alongside the Vitra Schaudepot, also designed by Herzog & de Meuron, a second public area was created on the campus in 2016. Then, there are other works like the Conference Pavilion by Tadao Ando, a geodesic dome based on the designs of Richard Buckminster Fuller, a petrol station by Jean Prouvé, factory buildings by Nicholas Grimshaw, Álvaro Siza and SANAA and the Vitra Slide Tower by the artist Carsten Höller. Daily guided tours explain the backgrounds of architects and buildings alike.

Die »Wunderkammer« zeigt eine Inszenierung von mehr als tausend Objekten aus der Sammlung von Rolf Fehlbaum, Vitra Chairman Emeritus und dem Schweizer Künstler Fifo Stricker. Wie ihre historischen Vorbilder vereint die Sammlungspräsentation der Wunderkammer auf dem Vitra Campus Kurioses und Kunstvolles aus der ganzen Welt. Bei aller Vielfalt und Verschiedenheit haben die von meist anonymen GestalterInnen erschaffenen Roboter, Weltraumspielzeuge, Comicfiguren, Folk-Art-Objekte und Werbematerialien einen gemeinsamen Ursprung in der Populärkultur des 20. Jahrhunderts. BesucherInnen des Vitra Campus können die versteckte Wunderkammer im Rahmen von Führungen entdecken.

It was here that Zaha Hadid created her very first structure in 1993 – the Fire Station – and American architect Frank Gehry constructed his first building in Europe in 1989. Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the VitraHaus of 2010 on the north side of the campus is an eye-catcher, even from afar. Alongside the Vitra Schaudepot, also designed by Herzog & de Meuron, a second public area was created on the campus in 2016. Then, there are other works like the Conference Pavilion by Tadao Ando, a geodesic dome based on the designs of Richard Buckminster Fuller, a petrol station by Jean Prouvé, factory buildings by Nicholas Grimshaw, Álvaro Siza and SANAA and the Vitra Slide Tower by the artist Carsten Höller. Daily guided tours explain the backgrounds of architects and buildings alike.

Alongside the Vitra Schaudepot, also designed by Herzog & de Meuron, a second public area was created on the campus in 2016. Then, there are other works like the Conference Pavilion by Tadao Ando, a geodesic dome based on the designs of Richard Buckminster Fuller, a petrol station by Jean Prouvé, factory buildings by Nicholas Grimshaw, Álvaro Siza and SANAA and the Vitra Slide Tower by the artist Carsten Höller. Daily guided tours explain the backgrounds of architects and buildings alike.

The unique ensemble on the Vitra Campus not only includes buildings by world-famous architects, but also gardens, sculptures and smaller buildings that break down the boundaries between the genres of architecture, art and design. Many of the places to be seen on the campus offer inspiration and practical ideas for a more sustainable approach to building and living.  For example, the »Garden House« by Tsuyoshi Tane, the »Oudolf Garten« by Piet Oudolf, the Tiny House »Diogene« by Renzo Piano and the recently built »Khudi Bari« by Marina Tabassum.

Sneaker Pharm*, a small, innovative company from Manchester, England, offers pragmatic approaches to demonstrate how old trainers can be easily rejuvenated. Rather than buying new sneakers after the usual wear and tear, participants in this workshop will learn how to clean and repair their old pairs and redesign them using unique fabrics from Vitra’s production. Vincent Tao, founder of Sneaker Pharm*, will lead the workshop, providing valuable tips on creating your own sneaker style. The workshop will begin with an introduction to the construction and manufacture of sneakers. 

Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to repair damaged shoes, clean them or refresh their design. Please bring an older, if possible damaged, pair of sneakers to participate in the workshop. 

The workshop will be held in English.
