Can imperfection reshape modern industry? Hella Jongerius — one of the most influential designers of her generation, and one of the field's sharpest critical voices — joins Grant Gibson to discuss craft, colour, and her enduring fascination with the messy edges of mass production.In this episode, we dive into the politics of materials and the discipline of long-term collaboration. We discuss:From Droog to Vitra: Emerging in 1993 alongside Jurgen Bey and Marcel Wanders, and what those early years taught her.Tough and Sweet: Developing her critical voice and taking aim at the design industry's obsession with newness and marketing.Materials Are Political: Why every choice of clay, textile or yarn carries weight.Avoiding the Path of Nostalgia: How to honour craft without retreating into it.Changing Industry from Within: Three decades of collaboration with Vitra, KLM, IKEA, Camper and Maharam.Colour as Communication: Why colour is a tool, not a decoration.Hella also reflects on her major retrospective at the Vitra Design Museum, running studios across the Netherlands and Germany, her fascination with animals, and exploring her spiritual side.Explore more: Visit materialmatters.design for more on our fairs and conferences.Support the show
Designguide.tv visits the Vienna Design Week 2010. In this first episode we take an overview tour of some of our favorite exhibits of the festival. A large collection of italian master designers' light designs was shown at the Bulb Fiction exhibition at Klaus Engelhorn's Depot. The work of young studios such as Polka, Driftdesign and Mischer'Traxler was mixed in forming an interesting view on classic and new lighting design. The Lichtingstein Museum invited three international design teams to create an exhibition under the motto of table culture. Claesson Koivisto Rune worked with manufacturer Lobmeyer and Wiener Silber to create a simple modern product in an opulant staging. Rianne Makkink and Jurgen Bey looked into the history of sugar. And architects/designers Olgoj Chorchoj offered a flashback into one's childhood. The Freiraum at the Museumsquartier asked well known artists to produce design pieces under the label AK7. The label seeks to be active at the interface between art and design and was produced by Tyrolean craft enterprises according to classical craftsmanship techniques, to be sold at 7 pieces each. more info on www.viennadesignweek.com music by: www.undosilence.com
