Continuity, trust, and mutual growth are key to successful creative collaboration: this is demonstrated by Hella Jongerius’s long-term partnerships with Vitra and Maharam, Global Sponsor of the exhibition »Hella Jongerius: Whispering Things». For Vitra, Jongerius developed the Vitra Colour & Material Library. Working over a period of several years, she organized textiles, leather, synthetics, metals, wood, and other materials in a coherent system offering innumerable possible combinations. Jongerius says: »The Vitra Colour & Material Library encourages creative freedom and fires the imagination – not by making everything possible, but by providing a clear display of options.«

The association between Jongerius and Maharam, one of the leading providers of textiles to architects and interior designers, is also of long standing. The Maharam Design Studio embraces a broad range of disciplines from product, graphic, and digital design to art and architecture. Long-term collaborations with internationally renowned designers foster an open dialogue across varied design disciplines and bring new perspectives to textile design.

Leading personalities from Jongeriuslab, Vitra, and Maharam will talk about continuity and perspective in the design world. They will discuss the innovative force of mutual trust and highlight the importance of long-lasting partnerships for the future of design.

Free admission.
