Droog Does Jakarta

A while ago I posted about Droog Designers Niels van Eijk and Miriam vander Lubb and the table they created in Bali. Well, this month Erasmus Huis (Dutch Cultural Center, Jakarta) has a Droog Design show where we were lucky enough to see the table in person. The previous pictures (taken from the website) really didn’t do this piece justice! The table is way bigger than I imagined, and much more detailed than those pictures show. Truly Impressive!

Several other Droog designs were featured in the show, some that I’ve seen and others that I haven’t. We really enjoyed the presentation. It wasn’t overdone, but made good use of the small space. The gallery was divided by modular chain link fences with sculpted objects like a couch, rocking horse, moose head and doghouse protruding from them. See below for visual references.

Droog Does Bali

Droog designers Niels van Eijk and Miriam vander Lubb manged to seamlessly meld the clean dutch aesthetic with traditional Balinese handicraft in their beautiful one-of Godogan table. Reminds me of Michael Koehler's untitled (tree) bench, taken to the next level and then some. Check out this month's issue of ID Magazine for more info on this and other contemporary ornament.
