When in Amsterdam…visit Droog Design’s new garden. Droog Design is a Dutch conceptual
design company situation in the heart of Amsterdam’s historical canal district.
Droog
recently revamped their courtyard into a garden. Designers Corinne Julhiet Detroyat and Claude Pasquer were asked to create an environment that mixed natural
and artificial materials. Detroyat and Pasquer took a creative sustainable approach
recycling rustic materials such as wire mesh and old watering cans mixed with
plants that encourage biodiversity.
The result
is a weird wonderful hidden garden. The artificial materials create a fantasy
feel. The climbing plants such as wisteria and bignonias bring you back to
earth. Detroyat and Pasquer have used contrasting materials, sculpture and
their artistic creation to form a natural world that is ascetically enticing yet questions the source of manufactures materials. The realization is that our earth
is the source of all the materials in the garden and harmony of manufactured material and nature is possible in one environment.
When in
Amsterdam…enjoy!
Droog Design
works with independent creative minds to realize products, projects and events.
