This book follows that practice through the archive of Jongeriuslab—prototypes, material tests, drawings and studio records that until now have rarely been seen outside the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell-known works such as the Polder Sofa, the Coloured Vases and her textiles for Maharam sit alongside recent artistic projects, including the Space Loom installations. Essays by leading design writers and curators place the work in a wider cultural frame, while a long conversation with her collaborator Louise Schouwenberg draws out the questions that have run through her career. Designed by Joost Grootens, the book doubles as archive, reference and portrait of a way of working that values process over finished product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore than 700 illustrations, including archival material, studio photography and detailed object views\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA work catalogue spanning Jongerius's output from the 1990s to the present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction by Alice Rawsthorn, with essays by Glenn Adamson, Paola Antonelli, Marcella Hanika and Christel Vesters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn extended conversation between Hella Jongerius and Louise Schouwenberg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook design by Joost Grootens, with foil debossing and laser etching on the cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Jongerius's research-led method moves between textiles, ceramics, furniture and interiors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe prototypes and experiments behind familiar pieces such as the Polder Sofa and the Coloured Vases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHer long engagement with colour and with industrial production that keeps traces of the hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere her practice sits within contemporary debates on materials, craft and making\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is edited at the Vitra Design Museum by Glenn Adamson, a curator, writer and historian who has led the Museum of Arts and Design in New York and research at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and Marcella Hanika, an assistant curator at the museum who worked on the Jongerius exhibition.
