Vitra - Swiss design classics, second-hand
Vitra, founded in Switzerland in 1950, produces design classics by names such as Charles and Ray Eames, Verner Panton, Antonio Citterio and Maarten Van Severen. Vitra chairs are built for intensive use, which makes them an excellent second-hand buy. At TROC Leuven in Herent we check each Vitra piece for mechanism, upholstery and frame.

Buying tips
- Measurement and fit: check the dimensions in the listing, plus doors, stairs and the free space around the piece.
- Material condition: look at joints, surfaces and upholstery in the photos; patina is part of the charm, and we describe visible wear.
- Matching style with space: think about how the piece works with your existing furniture, lighting and colours.
