Dutch designer Hella Jongerius started her diverse profession at Droog in Amsterdam. She then introduced Jongeriuslab in the 1990s, thinking up fabrics, furnishings, ceramics, and interiors in her Rotterdam studio. Over the years, Jongerius has actually boldly try out color and the malleability of products, trademarks of her comprehensive archive, which was just recently delegated to the Vitra Style Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany.
A long time Vitra partner, Jongerius developed items for the brand name– like the unbalanced, button-adorned Polder couch– and upgraded the Eames plastic chair with interesting brand-new tones. In 2026, the museum– currently stewards of collections by Charles and Ray Eames, Alexander Girard, and Verner Panton– will reveal the very first retrospective of Jongerius’s forward-thinking work.
Young Collectors Night makes a splash at the Winter season Program
More than 700 budding collectors of art, style, and antiques collected at New york city’s Park Opportunity Armory on January 25 for the Winter seasons Program’s yearly Young Collectors Night. Backdropped by attractive items from 70 dealerships worldwide, the function, sustained by NightOwl espresso martinis and the noises of DJ Jade Croo, was an attractive tentpole of the 70-year-old fair’s 10-day run.
This year’s Young Collectors Night was kept in collaboration with Muzo Emerald Colombia and honored Wes Gordon and Paul Arnhold (imaginative director at Carolina Herrera and glass artist, respectively). The occasion brought in visitors like jewelry expert Irene Neuwirth, AD100 company Charlap Hyman & & Herrero’s Adam Charlap Hyman, and business owner Indré Rockefeller, who all accepted the flashing jewel-box style and dressed to the nines. The swank occasion raised more than $200,000 for East Side Home Settlement, a not-for-profit company serving citizens of the Bronx and northern Manhattan.
