droog 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.

Breakfast now comes with a colourful side order. Noticing how many people begin the day with vitamins and supplements, Jo Nakamura gave them their own little spaces within the porcelain set. Against the clean white surface, the pills are no longer something to hide — they become bright decorative dots around the morning meal.

Published in 2004, Simply Droog is a playful journey through the objects and ideas that put Droog on the international design map. Icons such as Tejo Remy’s Chest of Drawers, Rody Graumans’ 85 Lamps and Marcel Wanders’ Knotted Chair appear alongside experimental concepts, exhibitions and collaborative projects.

Rather than following a strict timeline, the book jumps between themes: giving old materials another life, keeping things brilliantly simple, adding a touch of irony and inviting the user to join in.

Generous photography captures the products and experiments in action, showing that design can be useful, thoughtful and still have a sense of humour.

One person’s crumbs are another bird’s breakfast. With Bird Feeder, Paolo Ulian gives the remains of a meal a useful next stop, just outside the window.

A simple wooden slider sweeps breadcrumbs straight from the table into the feeder, with no extra effort. The design is stripped back to what really matters: one easy movement and a small reward for the birds. By connecting an everyday habit with the world outside, Bird Feeder turns tidying the table into a simple act of care for nature.

Created for The New Original: Lessons from China project, Family Vase plays with the idea of originals and copies.

Studio Droog borrowed distinctive colours of the Chinese ceramics and transformed them into gentle gradients and overlapping layers. Each piece was formed from 3D-printed sand instead of ceramic.

The vase looks functional, but there is a catch: fill it with water and it slowly dissolves. This playful twist raises questions about authenticity, usefulness and how long an object needs to last.

Instead of burying ordinary hardware bits, like nails, screws, brackets, nuts and hinges inside furniture, Studio Droog brought them front and center with fun colors, weird shapes, and smart details.

Some of these 210 tweaks presented at the Salone del Mobile in 2015 are genuinely practical, but honestly, most of them are just there to make assembling stuff feel way less like a chore. Turns out giving a humble screw a bit of personality changes everything.

Turn on the lights!

A refillable gas candelabra designed from the same simple and cost-effective materials as a camping stove. A practical yet luxurious piece.

Matching handles and a pair of spouts — this pot sits between two and turns a tea time into a perfectly arranged duet.

Its shape nods to traditional Chinese teapots, while its production in Shenzhen adds another layer. Rather than treating copying as something to hide, Hutten shows that imitation can sometimes lead to a completely new original piece.

Do Post concept turned sending a letter into a small social experiment. And you become a force of it.

All you have to do is follow the instructions: attach the metal box to a tree or a pole, leave a message and get one from a stranger in return. A poem, a complaint or a shopping list could all become part of the exchange. The design was never quite finished on its own, it came to life only when people took part.

As a part of Do Create, the post box was presented at the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2000.

—————————

Do Create project by Droog Design x KesselsKramer, treated every object as an open invitation to scratch, reshape, add to or put some of the designs into action. The designers started the idea but the exhibition visitors had the final say. Nothing in that collection was truly complete until someone added his own touch.
