Hella Jongerius (1963, the Netherlands) is one of the world’s leading designers, known for her research-driven approach and vigorous work on uniting craftsmanship and industrial production; infusing mass-produced objects with imperfection, sensibility and character. She founded her design studio in 1993 and has worked on commissioned projects for Vitra, Maharam, interior design of the Delegates’ Lounge of the United Nations Headquarters and cabin interiors for the Dutch airline KLM. She has initiated many independent projects, with exhibitions at the Design Museum London (2017), Die Neue Sammlung at Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich (2017), the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm (2018), Lafayette Anticipations, Paris (2019), Gropius Bau, Berlin (2021) and Salon94, New York (2024).

Her work can be found in permanent collections that include the MoMA, Centre Pompidou, Die Neue Sammlung, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, and the V&A Museum. In 2024, her archive was acquired by Vitra Design Museum. Hella Jongerius has lived and worked in Berlin since 2009 and, as of 2021, lives and works in both Berlin, Germany and Arnhem, Netherlands.
