A Dutch Designer's Grand Return to New York
Briefly

Dutch designer Hella Jongerius has always brought the handmade into modern manufacturing processes, often finding the form in the material and the machines that shape it. This spirit of experimentation is visible in her furniture, ceramics, and textiles, which emphasize imperfection rather than avoiding it.
Jongerius's current work at Salon 94, bears a duality: it’s both a continuation of her past designs and a radical departure, illustrating her venture into the relationship between design and the natural world.
Each tabletop seems to be topped with a random, disorganized jumble of ceramic beads and woven rope, but they all follow a design scheme oriented around grids, indicating her meticulous approach to seeming chaos.
I don't want to have straight answers,” she states, highlighting her desire to explore the unknown and the complexities of design that often clash with commercial expectations.
