Twenty years ago Rolf Fehlbaum, Chairman of the Swiss furniture design company Vitra, invited a group of architects, designers and artists - from Frank Gehry to Richard Artschwager - to create experimental furniture, objects and interior installations, escaping the restrictions imposed by the furniture production industry. In 2007, to mark the twentieth anniversary of the groundbreaking project, Vitra commissioned a second group to revisit the idea of limited edition design.

The Design Museum brought the entire Vitra Edition collection to London. With work by Ron Arad, Jasper Morrison and Tokujin Yoshioka among others, this was a unique opportunity to view the results of this test bed for design.
