is a place where you can shop (online), eat, drink, work, meet and think. The entire building (plus garden!) is open to the public.

Situated in five historic buildings in the centre of Amsterdam, is more a labyrinth than just a simply beautiful building. Each of the spaces have their own unique character, but all reflect the design sensibility that Droog brings. Come have a coffee, breakfast, lunch, or drinks in our restaurant or join our programme of exhibitions and events.

▪️Rosenthal gave Droog its design dare: porcelain, but make it wild. Instead of polished perfection, the project toyed with rough edges, quirky textures, and unexpected uses.

The results were so tempting that Karl Lagerfeld tried to buy them all. “Droog is the spirit of modernity — non-design, unpretentious,” he told The New York Times. “I wanted everything, but all I got was the porcelain lamp.”

The collection first popped up in Milan during the 1997 Salone del Mobile, then showed in Frankfurt that summer.

Today, many of those playful rebels are part of the Droog Collection, and collections of Victoria and Albert Museum; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Centraal Museum Utrecht.

A padlock with seven keyholes but only one dares to open. Seven days, seven notes, seven virtues, seven sins… a number heavy with myths and mischief. Part puzzle, part charm, it’s a pocket-sized drama of curiosity: will you seal the mystery, or set it free?

These lamps may start with the same porcelain beginnings, but once they hit the kiln — it’s anyone’s guess! The heat dances, the porcelain shifts, and each piece emerges with its own quirky personality. Thicker here, thinner there, a little twisty curve just for fun. Perfectly imperfect, and proud of it.

▪️The Dry Tech project by Droog Design (started 1996) was a bold experimental collaboration with Delft University of Technology’s Aerospace Engineering faculty. It explored merging high-tech materials with craftsmanship to push design boundaries.

▫️Dry Tech I (1996)
Iconic outcome: Knotted Chair by Marcel Wanders – made by knitting carbon fibres, combining them with resin, and suspending the structure to solidify under gravity. This chair became a design classic and museum piece.

▫️Dry Tech II (1997)
Expanded the scope with 15 designers exploring innovative technical fabrics. Featured fibre‑coiled stools by Hella Jongerius, epoxy-Swiss lace tables by Marcel Wanders, and spray‑cocoon furniture by Konings & Bey.

▫️Dry Tech III (2007)
Highlights included architectural applications like the Spacer Chair and Woven Waffle Screen by Studio Samita Boon — pushing form, material properties, and spatial concepts.

Dry Tech exemplifies Droog’s philosophy: marrying conceptual humor, unusual materials, and technical wonder. It demonstrates that engineering-led material inquiry can produce unexpected beauty, storytelling, and cultural resonance through everyday objects.

The Tudor ruff: once a stiff, pleated power collar for royals and the fabulously wealthy — now reimagined for your dinner table.

Studio Droog’s 3D-printed Napkin Collar gives this iconic Elizabethan fashion statement a modern twist as a napkin ring. With its intricate pleats and clever design, it adds just the right touch of flair (and a hint of sass) to your feast.

The design was part of the Rijksmuseum project, because even your napkins deserve to a moment.

A futuristic throne where nature meets tech: made from aluminum and inspired by how bones grow, it adds strength only where needed (just like nature does). Designed with high-tech tools from the auto world, it’s lightweight, strong, and seriously cool.

Part sculpture, part science experiment, this iconic chair starts as a soft braided cord with a carbon-fibre backbone, lovingly shaped using old-school macramé techniques. Then it’s soaked in epoxy and hung in a frame so gravity can do its thing.

But it’s not just a tech flex, Marcel Wanders set out to create something that didn’t feel cold or mass-produced. He wanted it to feel personal.

A playful fusion of jars, bottles, and vases, rescued and stacked into a candelabra-style statement piece. This design is both sculpture and vessel: salvaged materials turned into stylish, sustainable poetry.

Say hello to the Re-Bench, a one-of-a-kind creation from Dutch design legend Tejo Remy, made exclusively for Balenciaga’s Art in Stores series. It’s a patchwork of fashion’s past, stitched together from deadstock fabrics and offcuts that would’ve otherwise been forgotten.

Raw edges? Check. Exposed seams? Absolutely. Every Re-Bench wears its recycled heart on its sleeve, making it clear: design can (and should) do better. Each one is an interactive artwork that invites you to sit, think, and maybe shift your perspective.
