Follow Droog Into A Modern Lighting Era

Tejo Remy brings a hot, new feel to reusable, everyday castaways, turning each one into a unique work of art. The Dutch designer pairs with Droog, an Amsterdam based company to dazzle the international crowd with fresh, green ideas, breaking ground for modern lighting design as you have never known. Whimsical and modern, recyclables are turned into grace and prose, as only artist Remy can do.

Remy’s Milk Bottle light is reminiscent of the Dutch 50s when a case of milkbottles were delivered to homes. Plastic reusable shades provide the right amount of soothing light for hanging in a home or use for display in today’s museums. A symmetrical grouping of twelve or singularly, these uncanny modern chandeliers can be used overhead or inches from the floor. Also popular in restaurants and commercial buildings, the creative expertise of old and new come together to form a delightful change.

“A Touch of Green”, held in Milan earlier this year, poured out widespread applause for Remy and his functional and contemporary designs. In Droog’s fifteen-year history, they have offered many innovative green design ideas, bringing displays of award winning design to the public through practical and simple solutions for lighting applications using the brightest and the best of designers and engineers.

Soliciting only the best of new, young designers, another example of excellence is Droog’s Rody Graumans. Graumans’ 85 Lamps Chandelier has been highlighted in many museums, restaurants and commercial buildings and is included as a permanent collection piece at The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. 85 individual bulbs,using 15-watts each, drop from a jumbled bundle of black cords and sockets, creating a sensational array of beauty and light. Only an artist as Graumans could transform such beauty from these materials, an ingenuity that Droog demands.

Creative in everything he touches, Arian Brekveld, designer, has a background in environmental and industrial projects and brings to Droog the Soft Hanging Lamp. By utilizing the old fashioned PVC drip method, he molds the traditional lamp into a soft, flexible globe for safety and beauty. Hanging blissfully from a matching cord, the plastics mesh as one to present a binded marriage and to make one wonder, ‘how do they do that’?

Illuminating the way into a green future with astounding new talent makes Droog a leader in modern lighting. Having the foresight since 1993 to see a need for change, they are far ahead of many designers in preserving our world with beauty and style.
