DOCUMENTING THE CRAFTSMANSHIP AND HISTORY OF PRODUCTS MADE IN THE BRITISH ISLES. Monday, 14 November 2011. FACTORY VISIT NO.7 : VITSOE, CAMDEN. Several weeks ago, I visited. In north London (along with David, good friend turned M&I photographer for the day). When I learned about the company making nearly all of its components in the UK I was surprised, presumably because of the Scandinavian sounding name. The story of how it ended up being produced in Britain is an interesting one. Designed by Dieter Rams.
