with Hella Jongerius

Opening: 7 pm, Vitra Design Museum

For more than thirty years, Hella Jongerius has been one of the leading figures in contemporary design. Her pioneering work spans textiles, ceramics, furniture, and lighting as well as sculptural pieces. »Hella Jongerius: Whispering Things« is the first retrospective to present the full scope of the Dutch designer’s oeuvre – from early experiments to recent works and including her collaborations with Maharam, KLM, Camper, and Vitra – and demonstrates why Jongerius continues to be a defining force in the design world. The archive of her design studio, Jongeriuslab, has been in the care of the Vitra Design Museum since 2024, providing many of the works shown in the exhibition.

At the Opening Talk, Hella Jongerius and curator Glenn Adamson will reveal the idea behind the exhibition and discuss what it means to be the subject of a retrospective. They will talk about Jongerius’s research-driven approach, her mission to reconcile craftsmanship and industrial processes, her experiments with material and colour, and the language and meanings of objects.

The Opening gives you the chance to be among the first to view the new exhibition. Experience Jongerius’s pathbreaking designs from more than three decades and be inspired by the scope of her creativity. Celebrate with us and enjoy the atmosphere of the Vitra Design Museum en fête!

Free admission.
