Presented in conjunction with the Museum's exhibition 'Object Factory: The Art of Industrial Ceramics,' the Museum together with Design Onscreen present Hella Jongerius: Contemporary Archetype, a documentary exploring the design approach of the acclaimed Dutch designer. The half-hour film, created by filmmaker Amie Knox, explores Jongerius' design process through interviews with the designer and her assistants, the manufacturers of her designs and the curators and retailers who admire her work.r Jongerius, who is regarded as one of the most innovative and creative designers working today, works on the cusp of design, craft, art and technology to fuse traditional and contemporary influences. Many of her early designs were manufactured by Droog, the influential Dutch design collective, and she now puts her own work into production through Jongeriuslab, her Rotterdam studio, as well as developing products for manufacturers such as Maharam, Royal Tichelaar Makkum and Vitra. The film screening is followed by a question and answer session with Jongerius and Knox.r Link to MAD Calendar: http://madmuseum.org/DO/Calendar/200905/Hella%20Jongerius.aspx
