During this year's Orgatec trade fair, Vitra took over an entire hall, filling it with products by 12 brands and small tech startups.
It was the first time the Swiss furniture brand used the entirety of the huge exhibition hall. To realise the project, titled Work, it enlisted the help of London architect Pernilla Ohrstedt and designer Jonathan Olivares.

"We wanted to come up with an interesting way to approach this unique situation," Ohrstedt told Dezeen. "It's the one time every two years that all of Vitra's sales staff and dealers come together into this space."
"We wanted to use it as a tool to talk about work and where work is going, and what is the future of the workplace."

The pair masterplanned the hall as a "marketplace". Each of the 12 brands exhibiting had their own stand, they were also displayed together in a series of "collage offices". These three collage offices were designed to show the individual needs of different workplaces, and manifested in three typologies: an office with a need for a high degree of flexibility, a workplace environment for digital nomads, and a studio-like office that merges the gap between the workspace and home.

A cafe and plaza offered visitors a place to relax, furnished with the Bouroullec brothers Circle Benches.
