The programme for experimentadesign2001 includes a number of events which come under the heading of “fringe events”, organised by some of Experimenta’s strategic partners in different areas.


Exhibition of work by the Dutch designer, Hella Jongerius, founder of the Jongerius Lab, whose work can be seen at museums such as MoMA in New York and the Dutch Textile Museum in Holland. Her work combines industrial techniques and traditional crafts. Hella Jongerius accepts imprecision in materials, welcoming and exploiting the effect of uneven warping or the join marks between moulds.

This exhibition shows some of her pieces, including those created as part of the multi-designer Project 01 organized by Atlantis Crystal.
