Nike: Form follows Motion @ Vitra Museum

Last Thursday I was invited to the Vitra Campus to take part in a panel discussion about the current 
'Nike: Form follows Motion' exhibition together with Sergio and Mischa.
I had a great time sitting down with old friends and discussinig what we are all passionate about 
and it was even more enjoyable to include a full house in the conversation.
The following day I had the chance to walk around the campus and take everything in the 
exceptional sites have to offer.
It was so comforting being surrounded by the beauty of the great architecture, interior and design!
If you ever get the chance to visit, don't miss it. I can only recommend diving into this stylish world.

Prototypes, signed and game worn memorabilia, original Blue Ribbon Sports pieces, an air 
cushion testing machine Frank Rudy named after his daughter Kim, hand made shoes and lasts 
from the man Bill Bowerman himself, original apparel drawings by @dianekatz , correspondence 
with Steve Prefontaine, vintage advertisement and so much more is featured, I could go on forever.

The exhibition is curated by Glenn Adamson and Marcella Hanika (with some kind help of 
Nick Schonberger and Sara), who did a wonderful job selecting exciting key pieces to make this a 
fruitful experience to anyone who wants to dive deeper and at the same time taking note not 
to overwhelm the average visitor.

A very special thank you to Bao and Dominique for making this an unforgettable trip!
I had such a good time with you and appreciate you a lot for all your efforts, input and care!
