| 21 March 2013 Dutch designer Hella Jongerius, one of the most individual and influential product designers working today.  She has collaborated with many prestigious manufacturers, including Vitra, Kettal, and her work is held in the collections of MoMA, the Stedelijk Museum and the Design Museum in London, amongst many others.  VITRA - Polder sofa by Hella Jongerius  KETTAL - Bob lounge chair by Hella Jongerius Most recently, for the Milan Furniture Fair 2013, the designer injected new colors on Vitra's Prouvé Standard Chair collection.  The designer has also created a new cabin interior for Dutch airline KLM. KLM's revamped World Business Class cabin features spotted and striped dividing curtains, leather and aluminium details and a carpet made from the recycled uniforms of flight attendants. Hella Jongerius and her team at Jongeriuslab developed the palette of blue, purple, grey, brown and white by bringing fabric swatches onboard flights to observe how colours could be perceived differently in various lighting conditions.  "The light condition above the clouds and the light temperature makes all colours very red," Jongerius told Dezeen at the launch. "We had to really work in that sense so that the red goes out of the colour palette and so we chose colours that have a bit of green in them."   Watch in the video below as Hella Jongerius talks about innovation and her new book "Misfit": |
