Virgil Abloh
Commissioned by Vitra design Museum in 2019.
In 2019, Vitra and Virgil Abloh presented the installation TWENTYTHIRTYFIVE, his vision of a future home, in the Fire Station on the Vitra Campus. Three products developed by the American architect, artist and designer were launched in a limited edition as spin-offs of the exhibition.
Ceramic block
Speaking about the designs, Abloh said "I loved the idea of introducing some Prouvé classics to a generation today that might not know the importance of his work.”
A light blue version was launched in 2020 in USA.
