Vitra Design Museum, Weil Am Rhein Switzerland

Frank Gehry’s design for a showcase museum for the Vitra furniture museum was constructed in 1989. Gehry’s sculptural shapes abstract the Switzerland building tectonic, but the inside is very muted so that the exhibits can dominate.

This was one of Gehry’s early breakthroughs of expressionist buildings.
