Schaudepot, Visible storage facility at Vitra Campus, Weil am Rhein, Germany
The Schaudepot building features a monolithic red brick structure with purposefully exposed concrete interiors to display furniture collections and design objects.
Herzog & de Meuron architects completed the Schaudepot in 2016 as part of the expanding Vitra Campus, creating a dedicated space for permanent exhibitions.
The facility houses 7000 pieces of furniture and 1000 lighting objects, presenting over 400 important works from the history of furniture design.
The Depot Deli serves international cuisine and weekend brunch, while the shop offers design publications, posters, and products related to exhibited pieces.
The building incorporates a specialized paving system that creates an optical effect of expanded space, resembling a textured macadam surface instead of standard asphalt.

Jacques Herzog co-founded Herzog & de Meuron with Pierre de Meuron, an architecture firm that has completed projects across multiple continents. The portfolio includes museums, stadiums, residential buildings and cultural centers in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Each project responds to its specific urban context with tailored architectural solutions. Completed works include the conversion of the Tate Modern in London, the National Stadium in Beijing for the 2008 Olympics, the Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg, and the Pérez Art Museum in Miami. The buildings feature experimental facade treatments and innovative use of materials. Herzog & de Meuron received the Pritzker Prize in 2001.
