The Atlas of Furniture Design, a comprehensive history of modern furniture design, will be released by the Vitra Design Museum in 2019.

Early industrial furniture in bentwood or metal, Art Nouveau and Secessionist objects, works by Le Corbusier, Gerrit Rietveld, Charlotte Perriand, and Marcel Breuer, postwar figures like Finn Juhl, Eero Saarinen, and Achille Castiglioni, as well as postmodern and contemporary pieces are all included in the collection.
