Her work spans textiles, ceramics, furniture and interiors―always rooted in a research-based studio practice and a deep engagement with material, color and form. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWhispering Things\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e explores Jongerius’ oeuvre through the lens of her studio archive, acquired by the Vitra Design Museum in 2024. It offers unprecedented access to the prototypes, experiments and research materials that trace the evolution of Jongeriuslab. Through carefully curated essays; a personal conversation between Hella Jongerius and her long-time collaborator Louise Schouwenberg; and a visually compelling design by Joost Grootens, the book reflects the layered, research-driven and poetic nature of Jongerius’ work. Archival materials, rare studio images and detailed object views offer an intimate look behind the scenes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWhispering Things\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a portrait of a way of working that values imperfection over perfection, process over product and curiosity above all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #b3b3b3;\"\u003eVitra Design Musuem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eHardcover, 216 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eISBN 9783945852729\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitra Design Museum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48476792291563,"sku":"9783945852729","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/1061\/files\/81NwwxhchrL._SL1500.jpg?v=1779396774","url":"https:\/\/store.hammer.ucla.edu\/products\/hella-jongerius-whispering-thing","provider":"Hammer Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
