‘The Shakers: A World in the Making’ exhibition at Vitra Design Museum
Designed by Milan-based studio Formafantasma, the exhibition brings together over 150 original pieces—most on loan from the renowned Shaker Museum in Chatham, New York—presented across four thematic sections, each titled after quotes from Shaker community members. Alongside the historic works are new commissions and research from seven international contemporary designers and artists, reflecting on the ongoing relevance of Shaker values through lenses like gender, inclusion, and sustainability.
