This year in Milan (ag22: Via Alserio 22, Milan), Droog introduced ‘House of furniture parts’ by Studio Makkink & Bey, a development of the studio’s Stairhouse in Droog’s newly opened New York store. “It is a system that starts from the designer but grows into the culture where it is locally produced, and therefore, it makes me very curious how it will look in five years,” says Jurgen Bey.
Droog also presented new work by FormaFantasma (Andrea Trimarchi & Simone Farresin), Chris Kabel, Studio Nacho Carbonell, Luc d’Hanis & Sofie Lachaert, NL Architects (Michael Schoner), Nadia Pedreschi, NEXT Architects and Minale-Maeda.

About Droog
Droog started in 1993 as a statement on design, a no-nonsense, down to earth design mentality. Our unique way of thinking has defined us as a conceptual design company over the last 16 years, and has played a role in defining Dutch design internationally. Droog values what it means to be human, including subjectivity, notions of beauty and meaning, and desire for high quality experiences at the core of what we do. Droog stands for a luxury of content and experience that change perspective on daily life—whether it is authenticity, humour, slowness, engagement, or nature, the abundance of what is scarce is true luxury. Co-founded and directed by art historian and critic, Renny Ramakers, Droog has worked with renowned designers such as Jurgen Bey, Tejo Remy, Marcel Wanders, Martí Guixé, NEXT architects, Arnout Visser, Tjep, Joris Laarman and Richard Hutten, producing products, projects, exhibitions and events that have been extensively published and collected by museums all over the world. Amsterdam is home to our flagship store and office, where we operate the Creative agency, the Lab and the Factory & outlet. We also have a store in New York and in Tokyo, and distribution throughout the world. The board members of the Droog Design Foundation are Wim Pijbes (chairman), Mark Blaisse, Liesbeth in ‘t Hout, and Alfred Meijboom.
