To coincide with the exhibition ‘European Design Since 1985: Shaping the New Century’, The Indianapolis Museum of Art presents the world premiere of the new documentary short about Internationally acclaimed Dutch designer Hella Jongerius.

Originally trained in textile design, Jongerius works in multiple media with equal dexterity. With unorthodox structures and lush palettes, Jongerius reinterprets classic forms by “adding a new dimension, a different function or a different story.” Curators R. Craig Miller (IMA), Paola Antonelli (Museum of Modern Art), and manufacturers of her designs (Rolf Fehlbaum of Vitra) discuss Jongerius’ vision and contributions to the international design scene.
