In 2007, Jongerius began a research project for the Swiss furniture company, Vitra, to study the properties and possibilities of colors, textures, finishes, and materials. This long-term project has resulted in the Vitra Colour & Material Library, which is dedicated to the establishment and further development of an intelligent system of colors, materials, and textiles. In the book I Don’t Have a Favourite Colour, Jongerius describes her method of research and the application of its results to the Vitra product portfolio.
