Dieter Rams designed the 620 Chair Programme as a modular kit of parts. Separate chairs can become a sofa; a low back can be changed for a high back; and a swivel base can replace castors and feet. Rams speaks of “wanting to achieve the comfort of a classic armchair while remaining visually light”.

Dieter Rams designed the 621 Table for Vitsœ in 1962, not only as the partner to the 620 Chair Programme, but as a series of large and small surfaces that can be used almost universally. The table was re-engineered with Rams in 2014 for modern manufacturing.

Leben und Werk von Dieter Rams, der als Designer viele ikonische Produkte des 20. Jahrhunderts prägte.

We’ve had the same bed and sofa for decades, granted, they were expensive at the time, but it was worth doing. With Vitsœ, people have asked us about the cost, but I’ve never felt embarrassed. The way I see it: buy cheap, buy twice.”
