A few weekends ago my
husband and I were fortunate enough to visit both Blickfang Basel and the Vitra
Design Campus. Blickfang is a traveling European design
exhibition featuring the work of talented, small-scale designers. Not only do you get to peruse (and purchase)
the wares, but you also get face time with the designers themselves.

| Jeremy and I foolishly considered dragging one of these enormous geometric pods back home. |
Some of my favorite
designs at the exhibit included these origami inspired chairs by Matthias
Scherzinger of Freudwerk and the triangular poufs designed by Antoinette Bader — I’m a sucker for hard edges and geometric shapes.
 |
| These two were just adorable. |
The following day we
hopped on a bus to the Vitra Design Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany, to join
in their 25th anniversary celebration. We
were treated to tours of the Frank Gehry buildings, the Vitra Haus as well as
free crafting workshops.
Copper lampshades, concrete stoves, Eames elephants, Verner Panton lounge chairs ...had I died and gone to
design heaven? Jeremy eventually snapped me out of my design coma with the promise
of real Black Forest cake. Mmmm...yum.
The installations at
Vitra Haus change pretty frequently, so I will definitely be back soon. If
you’re looking for design inspiration, it’s hard to beat the Vitra campus!
