Archief Hella Jongerius opgenomen in Vitra Design Museum

Het archief van Hella Jongerius (winnaar Sikkens Prize 2017) wordt opgenomen in het Vitra Design Museum. De curatoren van het museum werken samen met de ontwerper aan het eerste retrospectief van haar werk, waarvan de opening gepland staat voor 2026.

Het Vitra Design Museum kijkt uit naar de samenwerking, zo schrijft het museum op Instagram:

‘We are happy to announce that Hella Jongerius has decided to place her extensive archive into the hands of the Vitra Design Museum, whose curators will collaborate with the designer on developing the first retrospective of her work, scheduled to open in 2026.

Hella is one of the leading designers of the last few decades. Her work encompasses textiles, furniture, ceramics, and interior design as well as an internationally acclaimed artistic practice. Her work is characterised by ground-breaking research into materials, techniques, decoration, and colour, underpinned by her critical reflection of design practices.’
