Droog Designs


The split between Droog Design founders, design historian Renny Ramakers and product designer Gijs Bakker, went public on this date in 2009.  The Dutch company had been established by the two in 1993, showcasing the work of Dutch innovators internationally.  Since that time, Droog  pioneered a new direction for design.and launched the careers of many star designers including Marcel Wanders, Tejo Remy and Jurgen Bay.  Iconic products like the "Infamous classics, 'A Chest of Drawers' and '85 lamps' redefined notions of luxury and design.".

"A Chest of Drawers" designed by Tejo Remy
"85 Lights Chandelier" designed by Rody Graumans
'The Rag Chair' by Tejo Remy



Irreconcilable differences over the direction of the company and money led the two to part ways.   Ramakers continues to work with over 200 artists, designers and architects worldwide on a range of products, ventures and events.  See all of their products and offerings at www.droog.com
