Droog Creates Modern Lighting From Reusables
Designer Tejo Remy is hot and so are his lighting designs. The Dutch designer, Droog, features many of Remy’s designs around the world, giving a modern lighting crowd an artful experience with illuminating excellence. Always focused on the permeable boundaries of sustainable design, Remy proves that reclaimed and everyday materials can indeed delight us to reduce, reuse and recycle.
The noted Milk Bottle light, by Remy, is a symbol of a nostalgic time and at the same time, casts useful, subtle glows throughout a room, something you could never find in the 50s. Twelve individual bottles group together to form an inspirational lighted space to hallways, dining areas and kitchens as well as in museums and in commercial buildings. Plastics form a unique configuration of art when used by designers with an insight and direction for beauty, a welcomed trait of Remy.
“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 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.
Another designer of Droog is Arian Brekveld who contributed to the lighting line with the Droog Soft Hanging Lamp. With Brekveld’s striking background in environmental and industrial projects, this designer uses flexible PVC dip, turning a seemingly traditional lamp into a safe and soft modern object. The lampshade has such a soft appearance making the hanging cord appear to be meshed as one.
Droog continues to light the way with the newest innovative green design ideas, remaining at the forefront of modern lighting design trends. Recognizing that creative design enhances human experience, alters reactions and energizes performances, consumers have learned to count on Droog for their recognition of the mental or human side of sustainable design.
