Visplay's history

Visplay and Vitra share a long history of over 85 years. Originally, they emerged from store fitting and the production of display furniture. Over time, the companies evolved and today stand as independent sibling companies. Visplay has always remained true to its roots and continues to focus on the production of modular store fitting systems.
