Droog started in 1993, as a statement on design, a no-nonsense, down to
earth design mentality opposed to the high style and form based world of
design. In contrast, Droog proposed a highly conceptual approach, one
captured by the Dutch word ‘droog’ meaning ‘dry’ or ‘wry’. This mentality
has defined Droog as a conceptual design company over the last 16 years, and
to a large extent, has defined Dutch design internationally.
Droog values what it means to be human, with subjectivity, notions of beauty
and meaning, and desire for high quality experiences at its core. Droog
stands for a luxury of content rather than luxurious materials. Whether it
is authenticity, humour, slowness, affordability, or nature, the abundance
of what is scarce has always been our luxury.
Droog at home is Amsterdam, home to our flagship store and office, including
Factory & outlet, Creative agency and the Lab. From this base we operate
worldwide with partners, clients, manufacturers and designers to develop
products, projects, and presentations & events that change perspective on
daily life, informed by the local context, yet in relation to urgencies on a
global scale. Droog New York is more than a store; it is at the same time a
gallery in which all items are for sale, including pieces of its interior,
in custom shapes and materials for the home interiors of the United States
and Canada. Droog also has a store in Tokyo, and distributes the Droog
collection with partners in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America.
