Hella Jongerius的家具经常被划分为设计要点。但是，无论你喜欢还是讨厌“青蛙”桌子，不可否认的是，它的制作所涉及的艺术性。青蛙桌是用法国胡桃木和蓝色透明搪瓷雕刻而成，是荷兰设计师在鹿特丹博物馆博伊曼斯·范博宁根(BoijmansVan Beuningen)展出的一系列古怪作品之一，其中包括一系列的“办公室宠物”(Office Pets)和一副“狐狸”(Fox)镜子。该剧的名字恰如其分，包括了Jongerius的全部作品，但没有时间顺序，也没有对预备研究和成品进行分级。Jongerius在上世纪90年代初就开始在工业制造过程中引入个性和缺陷，当时她在鹿特丹创建了自己的工作室http：/www.jongeriuslab.com/“Target=”_space“>Jongeriuslab。她一直认为，工艺的质量在完美的产品中是看不见的，只有在背叛制造商手的”不合拍“中才能看到。无论是商业产品还是限量版作品，她的作品中都有一种叛逆的幻想，往往带有诙谐的效果。以她的“办公室宠物”为例，一系列的面料人物-包括一只蜻蜓、一只鸟和一只甲虫-看起来像办公椅的旋转底座。这些作品是为维特拉和后来的加莱丽·克里奥创作的，这些作品将理性的企业世界与童话的叙事世界联系在一起，产生了非凡的效果。而且，与臭名昭著的青蛙桌，装饰两栖动物的作用，中间的用户和产品-一个客人在餐桌上谁也不能忽视。这是一种在设计中展示装饰力量的鲜明的对抗性方式。BoijmansVanBeuningen博物馆也展出了Jongerius为皇家Tichelaar Makkum设计的新系列花瓶。每只花瓶都被Jongerius用作帆布，用经典的矿物釉配方和现代化学配方来进行颜色实验。色彩是她的作品的另一个重要元素，围绕着这个展览来组织。展览中的大部分作品都陈列在墙上，这故意剥夺了它们正常的功能环境。在博物馆里，参观者被当作观察者而不是使用者，这就把焦点放在了每一个设计背后隐藏的意义上。
