Designed by [Herzog & de Meuron](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herzog-de-meuron1), the Vitra Haus is the newest addition the the [Vitra Campus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tane-garden-house) in Weil am Rhein. As though a tornado whipped through the town, twelve houses have been strewn together, one atop the other. Although seemingly random, there is, of course, a well-thought out plan behind the chaos that is Vitra Haus.
