An Assembly of Iconic, Forgotten and New Vitra Characters
During Milan's Design Week 2018, the Vitra exhibition »Typecasting,« curated by

Robert Stadler, presented 200 objects in the former sports hall La Pelota in the city's

Brera district.

In addition to generous photographic documentation of the event, this

eponymous

publication ,

designed

by

Zak

Group, critically

investigates

how

design evolves under the influ ence of social media. By presenting the objects as

characters,

»Typecasting«

is

as

much

about

furniture

as

it

is

about

ourselves.

Whereas

furniture's

practical

function

is

a

given,

its

representational

role

has

dramatically

evolved:

furniture

and

objects

become

props

for

self-staging

on

social media and online.
