An ingenious kit of parts

Like Lego for grown-ups, Vitsœ’s shelving system is an ingenious kit of parts

Heart designed by Wolfgang Schmidt, Vitsœ’s graphic designer during the 70s.

Putting up the system went really well, I’m so satisfied. Everything was really extremely organised and it truly is a piece of furniture to love.

From a Swedish coffee-roaster

I am truly bowled over by your extraordinary service, by the fine quality of your products, by your clear and precise assembly instructions, by your impeccable packaging…

But, more than anything, I LOVE my new Universal Shelving System desk! I hired a young contractor to assemble the unit for me. He arrived at 9am and by noon he was out the door. We were both enormously impressed by all of your materials, tools, gadgets, etc.. And I adore having a desk that’s truly made-to-order for me and my body! Everyone who sees it ‘oohs’ and ‘ahs’!

From the chic elegance of Paris, France

Is it odd to derive so much pleasure from a shelf?

...and a few months later:

I love these shelves. They are the utility equivalent of the kind of wine you drink on special occasions.

From a sculptor of renown

We love you and Vitsœ (and Dieter)!

From a Swedish graphic designer

I love my Vitsœ – even when it’s a mess, it looks tidy.

From a fashion consultant

I love it. Funny how you can love a piece of shelving but then it’s not shelving is it? It’s a statement about life and design or something. It’s so elegant a solution to a complex problem.

From a Hong Kong-based management consultant

J’adore Vitsœ!

Yours sincerely from Crawley

The dismantle and the installation costs feel a bit high, but considering the level of service provided by you and your colleagues, I would not hesitate again to acquire additional shelving for our home. In fact, I have been telling as many people as I can how wonderful the whole process was. I wasn’t around for the dismantle and installation of the shelves, but my nanny was very happy with everything. She is much more critical than I am so I guess that’s good feedback.

From the scheduling, your consultation, installation and the final product that we live with everyday, I cannot find any fault with Vitsœ. I loved every part of the process.

From a modern fine art dealer

I absolutely love the shelves; perfect choice. I was nervous about putting them up myself, convinced it would be a chore too far for my limited DIY skills. But, really, it went amazingly smoothly; the instructions and fittings were all spot on – that spirit level you supplied was a genius touch. I actually enjoyed the process. It was a very satisfying experience in the end.

From Derbyshire’s Peak District

We are very pleased with our shelves – we put them up without any problems, the manual was clear and I loved the little bag with our name on.

Most of all, we have been impressed by the efficiency of your service and attention to customer relations. It was certainly a much more happy experience than going to k*!

From the hilly bit of south London

The system looks great. We were impressed with the quality. My wife’s client loves it and may want to order a couple of two drawer cabinets to go directly on a wall. Thanks again for the quality service and product.

From New Jersey, USA

We just love the Vitsœ. I can’t really think of any glitches along the way or in the design of the furniture. I love the fact that you give clear instructions for self-installation. Frankly, if I can do it, anyone can. The inclusion of a measured spirit level is a stroke of genius! I am fearful that my obsession with Vitsœ could be a costly exercise as now I can see parts of the apartment that would benefit from more.

From San Francisco, USA

Well, I guess this is my personal declaration of love to Vitsœ and Dieter Rams. And I know for sure this is just the beginning of a long and faithful relationship between us :-)

From a customer in Italy

Just to let you know that I absolutely LOVE the shelving system. It looks great. Karl was brilliant – he did a fantastic job and has taken some photos to show you.

From a happy customer in the South of England

My Vitsœ is great, I shouldn’t love it as much as I do!

From a Camden architect

I LOVE Vitsœ shelving and had the best buying experience there. The guy in the store was charming. And the guys who came to fit the shelves were fantastic.

...about installing

Your installers came in and out as though they were on a cloud; I hardly noticed them.
