RIMOWA’s signature grooved aluminium meets Vitra’s refined design sensibilities
This year, RIMOWA and Vitra have launched two limited edition products – the Aluminium Stool and the Aluminium Toolbox. Both products are manufactured across the two brands’ heritage sites: RIMOWA’s aluminium elements are produced in Cologne, while Vitra’s textile components are crafted at their Weil am Rhein campus. The Aluminium Stool is a newly developed piece: a mobile seating cube crafted from RIMOWA’s iconic grooved aluminium and fitted with the brand’s Multiwheel system. Inside, the seat opens to reveal storage space lined with Vitra upholstery fabric. A removable leather divider ensures tidy organisation, while the lid’s detachable cushion offers added comfort. This edition is limited to 1,000 pieces and comes in three refined colourways: Silver and Ice Blue; Silver and Papyrus; and Silver and Emerald. 
The Aluminium Toolbox reimagines Vitra’s 2010 design by Arik Levy using RIMOWA’s signature anodised aluminium. Representing a commitment to sustainability, the interior compartments are lined with recycled fabric. Only 100 pieces are available in the same colour options as the stool – sold exclusively in Europe via RIMOWA.com and globally through Vitra.
