Summary:

"With her critical and poetic approach, Hella Jongerius has shaped the design world over the past decades. Whispering Things presents the first comprehensive overview of Jongerius's work from the 1990s to the present day - from product and furniture design to ceramics and textiles, from iconic pieces such as the Polder Sofa and Coloured Vases to her most recent artistic projects such as the Space Loom installations and the Angry Animals series. It documents Jongerius's collaborations with companies such as Camper, KLM, Maharam, and Vitra, as well as with institutions like the Museum of Modern Art and the United Nations. The basis of this book is Hella Jongerius' extensive archive, which is kept at the Vitra Design Museum since 2024. It comprises prototypes, drawings, experiments, and numerous other materials that illustrate Jongerius's process-oriented method of working. The archive serves as an important resource for insight into Hella Jongerius and her studio, Jongeriuslab. At the same time, it reflects the principles that lend her work its remarkable depth: re-evaluating layers of the past, exploring materials, forging unexpected connections, listening to the stories embedded in things - and always considering design in the context of society"--Provided by publisher.
