hella jongerius





hella jongerius, dutch designer. I'm working on a project about her right now, and I am so inspired that i just have to share. She went back to school to study design in her late 20's, after a previous degree in carpentry or ceramics (my sources conflict). SOUND FAMILIAR?? She was picked up right out of school by the very famous dutch design firm, DROOG. She's a product designer.... with a hankering for craft and handmade goods. that is unique, people. she combines handcrafted and mass production techniques, and has worked on some incredible projects with Ikea, Droog, MoMA, and on and on and on. Just realized I'm late for class.
