Dezeen teamed up with the Gropius Bau museum for a live talk with Hella Jongerius to celebrate the opening of her Woven Cosmos exhibition.
Jongerius' weaving practice is the subject of an exhibition at the Gropius Bau in Berlin that showcases work produced by the Dutch designer on-site at the museum.
Named Woven Cosmos, the show explores how craft practices can act as healing processes and how they can be used in the search for sustainable solutions for the future.
"Through Woven Cosmos I try to understand the cultural meaning of weaving beyond materials and technique," Jongerius said of the exhibition.
"This is also deeply linked to the challenges of our time: questions of sustainability, social responsibility and spirituality. For instance: what can be the healing function of objects?"
The exhibit includes a number of installations including a loom designed to weave three-dimensional structures to be used as architectural elements and a user-activated installation that will develop over the course of the show.
