Vitra Slide Tower, Steel observation tower in Weil am Rhein, Germany.

The Vitra Slide Tower is a 30.74-meter steel tower in Weil am Rhein, designed by Carsten Höller. Three slanted steel legs meet at a six-meter clock with no numerals, whose hour hand carries the Vitra logo. A stair with eight landings leads to a 17-meter viewing platform, starting point for a 38-meter corkscrew tube slide.

German artist Carsten Höller designed this work, which opened to the public on June 18, 2014. It was created as part of the Vitra Campus's ongoing expansion into artistic installations and public spaces.

This tower sits within the Vitra Campus, a place where visitors can experience contemporary architecture and design as living spaces rather than museum pieces. The surrounding buildings show how modern creators shape environments that people genuinely want to use and explore.

Visitors climb stairs to reach the viewing platform, while descent happens through a 38-meter spiral slide tube wrapped around the structure. This makes the journey down a deliberately physical and memorable experience rather than a simple exit.

The clock at the top has no numerals and turns on its own axis; at night it lights up together with the viewing pod. The Vitra lettering on the hour hand and a dot on the minute hand line up every 65 minutes to briefly form the company logo. According to Vitra, the clock is about time itself, not about reading it.
