Vitsœ is a British furniture company that manufactures and retails furniture designed by Dieter Rams. Vitsœ's furniture is known as a German design classic. ==Company history== Furniture salesman Niels Wiese Vitsœ (1913–1995) was introduced to Dieter Rams by fellow designer Otto Zapf. In 1959 they founded a company called Vitsœ+Zapf to manufacture Rams's furniture designs. Although Rams was working for Braun at the time, Erwin and Artur Braun decided to allow him to work on side projects. In 1969, the company was renamed 'Vitsœ' when Otto Zapf left the company. Mark Adams became managing director of Vitsœ in 1993. Mark Adams had been importing and distributing Vitsœ furniture in Britain starting from 1985 after having had a short career as a shop boy in an interior shop in London's West End. In March 1993 Mark Adams was called to help saving Vitsœ from being closed down. Since 1995, the company and all manufacturing have been based in England. The German company was closed before opening in Britain, which created the opportunity to re-engineer every component of the 606 Universal Shelving System in discussions with new suppliers. In 1997 a shop was opened in New York. Later in 2004 a shop was opened in London and in 2013 a shop was opened in Munich. In January 2013 Vitsœ became the exclusive worldwide licensee of Dieter Rams’s complete collection of original furniture designs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vitsœ」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
