Opening in autumn 2021, the »Wunderkammer« on the Vitra Campus will present a collection of more than one thousand action figures including robots, space toys, comic book characters, folk art and merchandising products from the collection of former Vitra Chairman Rolf Fehlbaum. These objects owe their visual charm to the talent, invention, and sense of humor of predominantly anonymous designers. In their time, these icons of pop culture fascinated millions of children and grown-ups.

The guided tour focusses on the highlights from the Vitra Design Museum collection, including rare and singular pieces from designers such as Gerrit Rietveld, Alvar Aalto, Charles & Ray Eames but also less well-known or anonymous designs, rarities and prototypes. The tour offers a unique possibility to experience the history of modern furniture design from its beginnings in the 19th century up to the present day in all its facets – from stylistic and technical innovations to the societal changes reflected in the objects.

This tour along Rehberger-Weg and through the surrounding vineyards, will provide you with fascinating facts on the milestones to be found along the hiking trail (the Rehberger-Wegmarken), the history of viticulture in the region, the local wine and winemaking profession, and the Schlipf area on Tüllinger Mountain. You will of course also be treated to wonderful views as you walk. The tour concludes with a small wine-tasting session at the vineyard, during which you can partake of some local wines and savoury pastries.

In rainy weather, the wine-tasting session will take place at the Vitra Campus. The walk will come to an end back at the starting point.
