Vitra views the environmental consequences of a consumer good's production as a design issue: The environmental connection is a part of the product and its use; it is a part of the design. Quality encompasses the products' durability and the exchangeability of individual pieces. Refraining from the use of fashionable styles means that rapidly changing aesthetics are circumvented. Design does not mean styling. Rather, it is a method employed to solve complex problems.
