Projects for @maharamstudio , @ikea , @nike , @artekglobal , @camper , @vitra , @klm and @porzellanmanufakturnymphenburg show how she has treated industrial contexts as opportunities for negotiation and reflection.

The first room of the 'Whispering Things' exhibition is titled 'Dirty Hands' and reaches back to the 1990s, when Jongerius’s exploratory approach first took shape. Early works from her time with @droogdesign are shown alongside subsequent ceramics, textiles, and furniture. These formative projects demonstrate how Jongerius’ interest in material behaviour and artisanal techniques informed a position between craft and industry.
A video montage of the designer’s hands at work highlights the deep physical engagement that has animated her ideas from the beginning.
