Walking the Rehberger way

Part 3 of the trip Basel 2018. Go to part 2.

A half hour outside Basel lies the Vitra Campus. It’s part factory, part museum, part showroom. Between there and Basel you can walk the Rehberger Way - a pleasant walk following the countryside and dotted with 24 sculptures.

Facing straight on a rectangular fountain in an open air square. There’s four flags on the right hand side.

A view inside an art installation at the Vitra Design Museum. There’s mirrors ahead and on the sides creating an infinite loop. The room is dark, but small squares of light repeat.

Be wary visiting Vitra’s showroom - you’ll end up lusting after far too many things you don’t need.

A photo of a sculpture in a field. It consists of 12 poles emerging from the earth and pointing upwards. They’re arranged in a row, and are coloured like a rainbow, from green to blue, red, and yellow.

The Rehberger Way made for a lovely afternoon walk. Modernist, brightly coloured, angular. It’s a pity they don’t credit the artists involved on the website.

A viewing platform in Bauhaus style.
