Vitra Home Stories for Winter 2026/27

The Vitra Home Stories for Winter 2026/27

It’s getting dark earlier outside, so indoors it’s time for more light, warmth and the lovely things that make winter at home so special. And as Christmas draws ever closer, it’s time to start looking for that one or two favourite pieces. For your own wish list, for the people who matter to us, or simply as a little inspiration for the most wonderful time of the year.

The Vitra Home Stories for Winter arrive just in time for this season – offering a glimpse into special homes, new ideas and plenty of inspiration for the coming months. And so the wish list can slowly grow: with favourite pieces for your own home, gifts big and small, and things that will bring joy long after the festive season is over.

A gift to sit back and enjoy

Christmas is drawing nearer – and what would Christmas be without presents? Little tokens of thoughtfulness, big wishes and items that may well have been on your personal wish list for a long time. So it’s time to start looking: for favourite pieces that bring joy and, ideally, will last well beyond the festive season.

To kick off the festive season, you’ll receive an ottoman or a panchina as a free gift with your Vitra Lounge Chair order

And sometimes it can be a very special gift: When you purchase a Repos, Grand Repos or Grand Relax from Vitra, you’ll receive the matching ottoman or panchina free of charge until 31 January 2027 simply choose your preferred version of the armchair, including the ottoman or panchina, and the benefit will be displayed directly as a discount. An extra touch for even more comfort – and perhaps exactly the gift you’ve been wanting to treat yourself to for ages.

Festive gift ideas: Vitra accessories

Whether it’s an Akari lamp, Alexander Girard’s Wooden Doll figures or a vase for your Christmas centrepiece – Vitra has the perfect accessories for a cosy winter. A truly special gift idea is the new Panton Cubes interlocking figures by Verner Panton, which can be used to create sculptural animals (such as flamingos or giraffes) or abstract objects.

As relaxed as an oversized jacket – the Bascule Chair

Some armchairs invite you to sit down. Others simply make you want to sink right into them – like an oversized jacket that drapes softly around your body and in which you instantly find just the right spot. The Bascule Highback lounge chair definitely falls into the second category. With its high backrest, generous silhouette and plush upholstery, it creates a sheltered, almost cocoon-like retreat. Lounge-style comfort meets the laid-back attitude of a lounger – relaxed, spacious and made for sinking into.

Leaning back in the new Bascule Chair by Vitra

The Bascule’s infinitely adjustable rocking mechanism follows the body’s movements and allows for an effortless transition from an upright sitting position to a relaxed reclined position. To accommodate this exceptionally wide range of movement, Studio Œ has developed a special cover using techniques from the world of fashion. It drapes around the frame like a bespoke jacket, with soft, expressive folds. So rather than upholstering the chair in the conventional way, Studio Œ has, in a sense, dressed it.

A home with its own narrative – Vitra Home Story in a historic Berlin flat

This year, the Vitra Home Stories take us into the world of film. To a flat in a historic Berlin building, where light sets the scene, colours define the narrative, and furniture and personal belongings continue the story. For, just as in a film, it is the people who live there who decide what appears in the frame and what atmosphere is created.

In this opulent flat in a historic building in Berlin-Charlottenburg, the history of the 19th century meets a very contemporary way of life. Original ceiling panelling forms the backdrop for a home where living and working merge seamlessly. For its occupant, a film production designer, life at home also begins with light. From this, colours, moods and details emerge – scene by scene.

A real eye-catcher, and not just in yellow: the Bascule Chair in a historic building of Berlin

This is precisely the idea behind Home Stories: the home becomes a stage for one’s own life. With light, colours, furniture and personal belongings, a film all of one’s own is created, one that is retold time and time again.

A personalised setting for a home – just like in a film

Discover how light, colours and furniture shape the narrative of a home – and how personal belongings, memories and favourite pieces come together to create a place’s very own story.
