Material research plays a primary role in the creations of Dutch artist and German resident Hella Jongerius, whose works are held at MoMA, Cooper Hewitt, and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others. Jongerius’ Multitone Rug (2014) reflects her eye for color. Why do her colors look so beautiful together? “That’s the secret of the color-cooking chef,” she says. Multitone’s rich texture lies in its flat handwoven basket construction – what she calls “the archetype of weaving.” Made in India.
