A graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven, Hella Jongerius is one of the world’s foremost product designers, prominent in the Netherlands, her native country, as well as on the international stage.
Since her early work for Dutch design collective Droog, and now at her Berlin-based studio Jongeriuslab, where material research largely determines design direction, her work has been characterised by a unique ability to approach industry from the perspective of craft.
In 2013 Hella Jongerius was appointed Design Director for Danskina, and comes with ambitious plans and aims to breathe new life into an old craft through constant research and experimentation with both processes and materials.
