We are excited to announce our new exhibition »The Shakers: A World in the Making«! #VDMShaker⁠
⁠
From 07 June 2025 to 28 September 2025, the Vitra Design Museum will present a major exhibition exploring the American Shaker community and their unique design culture. Established in the eighteenth century, the Shakers were a free church community that embraced social equality, communal property, and pacifism, viewing labour and design as crucial expressions of their faith. The Shakers’ radically simple, functional objects have had a profound influence on modern design, inspiring generations of artists, architects, and designers up to the present day. Designed by Milan-based studio Formafantasma, the exhibition will showcase a wide range of Shaker furniture, architecture, tools, and commercial goods, drawn primarily from Shaker Museum, Chatham (USA). Works by contemporary artists and designers enter into dialogue with the historic exhibits, reflecting on the Shakers’ enduring relevance. Displayed throughout the show, these specially commissioned works will create moments of interaction and tension, inviting visitors to engage with one of the most compelling community experiments of the past centuries.⁠
