About the artwork

The digital artwork "Jongerius Office" depicts an iconic and historic building that once served as the headquarters of Jan Jongerius. At the centre of the image, the façade dominates with the striking red letters "JAN JONGERIUS", immediately attracting attention and highlighting the property's heritage. Above this name is a large clock, with the hands at five to ten, as if time seems to stand still there or marking a symbolic moment. Just above the building's entrance, the word "Ford" is visible in modest, smaller letters, a reference to Jongerius' relationship with the famous car brand.
Two slender towers rise on either side of the building, each crowned with a flying Utrecht flag, underscoring local pride and connection to the city. In the foreground is a large flower box full of colourful flowers, providing a soft, lively contrast to the clean lines of the architecture. Behind this flower trough, a striking structure extends leading to the entrance; it resembles a bare pergola, with open rafters creating a rhythmic play of lines and shadows. This structure adds an abstract element to the whole, as if it were a bridge between the past and the present.
The artwork captures both the industrial power and nostalgic atmosphere of the building, and manages to convey a sense of pride, memory and architectural beauty through its composition and details.
