Editorial Reviews

Review

"Designer Hella Jongerius narrates her decade-long journey to create the Vitra Colour and Material Library. Jongerius’s work...is dedicated to demonstrating the effects of daylight on colors, how shadows on a single piece can disrupt a hue, or the possibilities of mixing seemingly incommensurable tints in fabric. The Vitra library is seminal for designers, as Jongerius is today’s authority on color theory."
