Inside the exhibition

Meet the artist

Hella Jongerius

Description

For over thirty years, Hella Jongerius has been one of the most exciting and influential voices in the design world. Since she first appeared on the scene in the 1990s, she has been shaking things up across a huge range of areas—from textiles and ceramics to furniture, lighting, and sculpture. Her unique, research-led style has helped shape how a whole new generation of designers thinks and creates today.

This exhibition is the very first full-scale look back at her career, bringing together every chapter of her work. You’ll see her celebrated collaborations with famous names, but more than just looking at the finished objects, we’re putting the spotlight on how she works. Discover the secrets of 'JongeriusLab'—a place where ideas are layered, connections are made, and the making process itself is celebrated. It’s a space dedicated to craft, vibrant color, and deep 'cosmic thinking.'
