This autumn, Vitra and Calienna present Greenhaus, a temporary concept unfolding across the entire upper floor of Calienna. Known as a cultural space blending plant store, café, gallery, and studio, Calienna will be transformed into a living homage to the enduring connection between iconic design and the quiet vitality of plants.

Rooted in the spirit of places like the Eames House and inspired by the VitraHaus, Greenhaus resonates with Calienna’s philosophy — where nature, design, and daily life consciously intersect.

The installation brings together two worlds: the language of design and a plant-centered vision for more conscious living. Together they create spaces that are alive, expressive, and deeply tangible. Visitors will encounter furniture classics by Charles and Ray Eames, alongside the Anagram Sofa by Panter & Tourron, the Slow Chairs by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, and other Vitra highlights.

Greenhaus is more than a temporary installation. It is a space designed to be lived in: a place for events, conversations, moments of retreat, remote work, and presentations.
