Vitra to open new Shoreditch showroom during LDF


Vitra, the Swiss design company, is set to open a flagship UK showroom at the Tramshed building in Shoreditch to coincide with the London Design Festival in September 2022. The listed Tramshed building on Rivington Street in Shoreditch was built as a power station for the East London Tramway in 1905. Vitra has renovated the interior, preserving all the defining historic details and forging a link between old and new.


The 920 sq m exhibition space is divided into three main areas. On the ground floor, ‘The Club’ is an ofice installation geared towards the post-pandemic needs of people and companies. ‘The Gallery’ in the basement


of the Tramshed contains a presentation of Vitra’s product portfolio and curated spaces dedicated to various themes. The third area – ‘The Cottage’ – is a space to host events and meetings,


which is located on the first floor of the building and will open in 2023. Tramshed will open on 20 September 2022 with an installation celebrating Vitra’s ongoing collaboration with the family of iconic French designer Jean Prouvé and will introduce some new additions to Vitra’s Jean Prouvé collection, including a limited edition of the Fauteuil Kangourou, designed in 1948. vitra.com


OEO Studio designs new café and shop for Designmuseum Denmark


Copenhagen-based OEO Studio has completed work on several spaces within the Designmuseum Denmark, including the design of a new café and museum shop. OEO Studio’s work forms part of the first major redesign of the museum since that undertaken by iconic Danish designer Kaare Klint in the 1920s. Known as the father of modern Danish furniture design, Kaare Klint’s style was epitomised by clean, pure lines, the use of the best materials and craftsmanship. The starting point for OEO


Studio’s design scheme was to honour Klint’s work, while also creating new, exciting and functional public spaces at the museum that retain a sense of place. oeostudio.com
