Droog Design presents hardware with a twist during Salone del Mobile, Milan 2015: Construct Me!
Droog focuses on the smallest parts of furniture, functional elements that are usually not noticeable and often invisible. Our screws, hinges, nuts, nails, brackets and other hardware are super functional – in some cases we even extended their function – but they also add value, character and a richer narrative. In our created collection, you will find nails that reduce the risk of hitting your finger, two way tie wraps, fancy hinges and screws that smile at you. They give flavour to simple DIY work, revive existing furniture and challenge the designer. The collection of 210 hardware items will be presented in its natural habitat, an ordinary hardware store. Come, see, and purchase our “screwy” smileys from the gumball vending machine.

But all of the designers share a hands-on approach, practice in a workshop environment, and produce work that is experimental with a strong focus on process. Continue reading
