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 lighting design as you have never known. Whimsical and modern, recyclables are turned into grace and prose, as only artist Remy can do.
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 must for worldwide designers, this year's "A Touch of Green", held in Milan; found Remy's functional and contemporary designs one of the most popular in lighting designs. Founded in 1993, Droog's has offered many innovative green design ideas, bringing displays of award winning design to the public through practical and simple solutions, finding the brightest and the best of designers, artists and engineers.
Droog regularly taps the talent of young designers including Rody Graumans. Selected for inclusion in Droog's first design collection, Graumans' 85 Lamps Chandelier was also chosen for the permanent collection of The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Comprised of 15-watt bulbs and a bundle of black cords and sockets, this stunning display of light is used in many museums. Never could one imagine that simple discards could be arranged in such a graceful way. Less and more, the entire unit only weighs fifty-five pounds.
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.
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. - 16492
