Today I visited museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam to see the Misfit exhibition of Hella Jongerius.
In 2005 Hella designed Jonsberg vase in four variants. The vase is held in a large number of musuem collections and it is also held in numerous private collections! I mean, who doesn't have one? (Yes, me. The white one is always sold out at any Ikea I visit.)
It was Hella's challenge of how to preserve traces of the craft process within a mass-produced product.
Meanwhile she designed in 2009 three wall-hangings; Pelle (hare), Mikkel (fox) and Gullspira (deer) for Ikea.
You should really visit the exhibition.
Jansen (not rich, but taste) tips;
- free admission on Wednesday
- have lunch in the restaurant with nice view

Ingrid! Ik ben er ook geweest (kwam voor Kees van Dongen, maar deze was een fijne bijkomstigheid). De kleuren, de vormen, ik wilde alles wel mee naar huis nemen :-)
