The designer Hella Jongerius has become known for the manner in which she fuses industry and craft, high- and low-tech, traditional and contemporary. In 1993 she founded the Jongeriuslab studio, where she has pursued independent projects and also created products for major clients, including Maharam, Danskina, IKEA and KLM.
For Vitra, the Dutch designer has developed distinctive pieces such as the Polder Sofa and the East River Chair. Jongerius has consistently addressed the significance of colours and surfaces in contemporary design in her work with textiles, ceramics and furniture. She has been the Art Director for colours and materials at Vitra for many years and developed the Vitra Colour & Material Library – a system that enables the versatile combination of different materials and colours throughout the extensive Vitra product collection. Hella Jongerius has also written a book about this complex task entitled «I Don’t Have a Favorite Colour».
Works by Hella Jongerius have been shown at museums and galleries such as Design Museum (London), Galerie kreo (Paris) and the Moss Gallery (New York).
HELLA JONGERIUS
The Coat Dots are small colored wooden balls that attach to the wall, creating cheerfulness all over the house. They can be placed freely or in line of three or more balls, and so can create attractive wall sculptures. The Coat Dots can also serve as hooks: each ball is mounted on an expandable aluminum pin that can be pulled slightly away from the wall, thus providing a handy hook for coats, jackets or clothes hangers. With their bright and shiny colors, the Coat Dots are pleasing eye-catcher. They recall the coat hangers Hang it all designed by Charles and Ray Eames.
As part of her work on the Vitra Colour Library, Hella Jongerius designed the Coat Dots in three colour groups with finely nuanced shades of red, green or white. The Coat Dots are available in sets of three, including hardware fittings for self-assembly.
