Vase as canvas

Standing on the floor are 300 vases, arranged in a variety of colour schemes: the new series of Coloured Vases (series 3). Jongerius developed this series during the summer in close collaboration with Royal Tichelaar Makkum. The Coloured Vases are experiments with colour, using an existing vase as a ‘canvas’. The colours consist of a mix of historical mineral glaze recipes and modern chemical glaze recipes. Some vases have an extra layer of industrial paint. Colour is an important element in Hella Jongerius’s design practice, as you will see throughout the exhibition.
