The Dutch designer-maker HELLA JONGERIUS (1963-) works on the cusp of design, craft, art and technology to fuse traditional and contemporary influences, high tech and low tech, the industrial and artisanal. 

Born in De Meern in 1963, she studied industrial design at the Eindhoven Design Academy and has since combined elements of that discipline with those of traditional craftsmanship in products, textiles and ceramics. Many of her early designs were manufactured by Droog, the influential Dutch design collective, and she now puts her own work into production through Jongeriuslab, her Rotterdam studio, as well as developing products for manufacturers such as Maharam, Royal Tichelaar Makkum and Vitra. See Hella Jongerius' work at jongeriuslab.com.

Hella Jongerius Book

Book
Hella Jongerius – the first book on a young, highly talented designer with a burgeoning career and rave reviews in the international press. Curators describe Jongerius as ‘a unique talent who has no rivals’ (MoMA design curator Paola Antonelli); and ‘one of the most significant designers in the world today’ (Aaron Betsky, head of the Netherlands Architecture Institute).

A book that captures the ‘next wave’ of product design, introducing a leading figure in the new generation of designers of the 21st century.
