We’re delighted to announce that @droog will be partaking in this year’s 24H Amsterdam program!
What is 24H? On Saturday the 14th of May, the people of Amsterdam get the opportunity to (re)discover their city within 24 hours. This year, the programming will be all about the historical city centre of Amsterdam. Many different locations are participating, so there will be something interesting to do every hour of the day.
@droog program Here @droog, we organize several guided tours through the heritage of Droog Design in combination with breakfast, lunch or drinks in the café upstairs. Come by and start your day with a healthy breakfast and walk through the maze of Droog, or take a short break for lunch or a refreshment while you’re on your voyage of discovery through our beautiful city.
The second week of May marks a very significant date: we have our very first chef in residence staying over @droog!
Vegan sushi master Asako will be staying at the one and only Hotel Room and is bringing the Japanese traditional cuisine with her. This means we have a very tempting opportunity for culinary enthusiasts, as you’re invited to join her for a traditional Japanese night, celebrating the heritage of one of the most refined cuisines out there.
This is your chance to experience the Japanese culinary journey as it should be: in an intimate setting, with the chef herself at the table to explain the philosophy behind each dish as well as the crockeries she brought from Japan. We have a very detailed menu planned for you, including a paired sake tasting and Japanese tea. Will you join us in the hotel room @droog
We’re looking for talented & creative people to join our kitchen team. You will assist the chef in prepping breakfasts, lunches, special dinners and bites for events.
Due to webshop renovations you may have noticed our webshop not being fully stocked for a few weeks. But we have good news: our webshop is back online and ready to serve all your design-related needs.
Whether you’re looking for a Sticky Lamp to brighten up your bedroom, or a Salad Sunrise to add dressing to your dishes in style – we’ve got all the Droog design classics you need.
We’re kickstarting Spring with some exciting (and delicious) events. Have a look at what’s next @droog:
Monday 11 april: POWER TO THE PLANET
Op maandagavond 11 april hernieuwen we de hoop op deze toekomst tijdens een publieksbijeenkomst met twee speciale gasten: schrijver en activist Eva Rovers en participatiedeskundige en praktisch idealist Natasja van den Berg. Rovers gelooft in opstand en verzet, terwijl Van den Berg denkt dat er niets gebeurt als je de instituties niet meekrijgt.
Singer/songwriter Savine is dropping by for a musical Sunday afternoon @droog. Come mingle, have a drink and listen to the talented sound of Savine.MMC combines ARTIST, AWARENESS, & ACTION all in one event. Come and join us for an impactful evening surrounding the theme of ‘BELONGING’. Including live performance by Marle Thomson and panel by Norman Vladimir and charity Studio Pancake
Sunday 17 april: Music, Drinks & Bites with DJ loucb
Listen to chilled and laidback soundscapes, as those are the airwaves that more effectively touch upon the deepest corners of the heart. Get inspired, allow yourself to dream a little while you’re surrounded by Luca’s soundscape set
Al heb je de contouren van de ideale wereld helder op je netvlies, het realiseren van die wereld is ongelooflijk moeilijk. Hoe krijgen wij als mensen onszelf zover dat we zorgvuldig met onze leefwereld omgaan? Het programma POWER TO THE PLANET – FAST FORWARD blikt vooruit naar een toekomst met ruimte voor ál het leven op aarde. Zelfs voor ons.
Op maandagavond11 april hernieuwen we de hoop op deze toekomst tijdens een publieksbijeenkomst met twee speciale gasten: schrijver en activist Eva Rovers en participatiedeskundige en praktisch idealist Natasja van den Berg. Rovers gelooft in opstand en verzet, terwijl Van den Berg denkt dat er niets gebeurt als je de instituties niet meekrijgt.
De sprekers voeren het gesprek met elkaar en het publiek op basis van de revolutionaire resultaten van eerdere bijeenkomsten van POWER TO THE PLANET. Dit publieksprogramma, onderdeel van de tentoonstelling The World As You Don’t Know It van Renny Ramakers, krijgt met deze avond zijn ontknoping. Farid Tabarki van Studio Zeitgeist modereert de avond; zijn collega Rindert de Groot leidt de revolutionaire inhoud in. Deelnemers aan het programma pitchen de meest vergaande ideeën.
Op 11 november vorig jaar ging POWER TO THE PLANET van start met REVOLUTION RISING. Mei Li Vos, Jamy Goewie en Tinkebell deden voor een betrokken publiek in het restaurant van droog baanbrekende voorstellen om de wereld te veranderen: van het opkopen van bedrijven tot het benoemen van een dictator. Op 12 en 13 november ontwierpen kleine teams hun eigen revoluties tijdens het intensieve programma REVOLUTION LAB. Elk team kwam met een ander voorstel, maar het uitgangspunt was hetzelfde: alles moet anders! De teams zetten het geldsysteem op z’n kop, gaven ecosystemen een stem en maakten kordaat een einde aan de uitputting van de planeet.
Dat zijn inderdaad grote idealen, en die vereisen grote keuzes. De beloning van deze revolutie is een ticket naar de goede kant van de geschiedenis. Zet ook een flinke stap vooruit naar de toekomst waarvan we weten dat hij er moet komen en wees erbij op maandagavond 11 april.
Did you know you can kickstart your day with a healthy breakfast @droog? We upgraded our menu’s and are happy to share there are many new dishes on there. Like Cilbir Turkish eggs for breakfast… A tasty poached egg unlike you’ve ever had before – with yoghurt, chili butter and fresh dill.
Looking for an original meal at lunch? The PaddoMelt Toast is an all-time favorite, with fresh oyster mushrooms, chipotle bbq sauce, pickled unions and – of course – melted cheese.
Our kitchen closes for lunch at 15:00, but thanks to our new and improved ‘borrel menu’, you will not go hungry while you enjoy a good glass of wine or fresh beverage. Vegetarian betterballen (bitterballen but instead of meat filled with beetroots, oyster mushrooms and cheese), bread with homemade hummus and grilled eggplants and even bao buns with honey kimchi sauce are on the menu.
US artist/singer-songwriter, Norman Vladimir, believes that “one hour can change the world”
…and that is why he, in partnership with @droog, is excited to invite you to experience his new impact platform Music Makes Change (MMC) that combines ARTIST, AWARENESS, & ACTION all in one event.
On April 12th, MMC invites the talented musician/artist Marle Thomson to perform an intimate set of music. Vladimir will then moderate a panel with Marle Thomson and local volunteer organisation, Studio Pancake, to discuss the concept of BELONGING and how it has impacted them and their respective work.
As always, the event will conclude with a mandatory sign-up by every attendee for ONE HOUR of volunteering with our featured organization, to make a powerful, local impact in our community and to round out the MMC experience.
After so much time of isolation and distance, we see now, more than ever, the importance of our human connection, to each other, and to the place we call home.
The event begins at 19:30.
Date: Tuesday the 12th of April Time: from 19:30 – 21:30 Price: €25,- Tickets: sign up here
Het leven van een muzikant was ten tijde van de Sovjet-Unie alles behalve gemakkelijk. Muziek moest dienstbaar zijn aan de nieuwe socialistische staat en als je deze richtlijnen niet volgde was je je leven niet zeker.
Meer weten?
Kom naar het event op donderdagavond 3 maart: De Klank van de Heilstaat – Lezing, zang & diner
Ontdek de indrukwekkende verhalen van musici in de tijd van Stalin tijdens deze leerzame lezing van schrijver en journalist Michel Krielaars – auteur van De Klank van de Heilstaat. De avond wordt omlijst door zang van mezzosopraan Henriette Schenk, begeleid door Irina Antonova op piano.
Geniet van een 3-gangen menu in stijl @droog terwijl je je laat meenemen naar een andere zeitgeist.
Good to know for non-Dutch speakers: You are very welcome to join, but bear in mind that Dutch will be the main conversing language (plus Russian songs)
Subject to Change is the first ever solo exhibition of London-based design studio Superflux. As a criticallyacclaimed, boundary-defying practice, Superflux confronts us with the complex and deeply interconnected nature of the challenges we face today. They invite us to remain open to a multitude of possibilities and navigate precarity with active hope. Their stories, films, objects, immersive installations and speculations craft new, optimistic, and enduring relationships with our planet, other species, technology, landscapes and each other.
Translating Future Uncertainty in Present Day Choices Superflux’s work has been described as ‘powerful’, ‘stirring’ and ‘electrifying’. Now in its 13th year, Superflux has exhibited work at various international exhibitions, such as the 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale, National Museum of China, MoMA, V&A, La Biennale di Venezia, MAK Vienna, Vitra Design Museum, Science Gallery, KUNSTHAUS Graz and many more. Invited by Renny Ramakers, Superflux will take over Droog’s gallery with a provocative new exhibition.
The Intersection In their most recent work the Intersection they explore the idea of active hope to navigate a murky and fragmented near future. This short film’s narrative arc revolves around four protagonists whose lives have been shaped by the dissonance of extractive technology norms, misinformation, surveillance capitalism, and context collapse. Moving away from a violent to a cooperative future, the protagonists and their communities find hope in craft, community and care.

Refuge for Resurgence The centrepiece of the exhibition Subject to Change is Refuge for Resurgence, a multispecies dining experience with animals, birds, plants and fungi: a magnificent four-metre-long table set for 14 guests: a snake, a beaver, a raven, a wasp, a mushroom, a fox, a wolf, a wild boar, an old cow, a rat and a pigeon and three humans.
“What does it mean to give every other animal we share the planet the same love, attention, and care we give each other? To do that we invite various different species to dine together with us (humans) as equals around this table”- Jon Ardern, Superflux

Superflux expresses their desire for a more-than-human future in a recently published manifesto: a shift from fixing to caring, from planning to gardening, from systems to assemblages, from innovation to resurgence, from independence to interdependence and from extinction to precarity.
And perhaps it is this perspective that connects Superflux’s activities in the realms of culture, politics and technology with the climate crisis. By reframing humans in direct interdependence with other species, Refuge for Resurgence and Invocation For Hope challenge the long-standing histories of human exploitation and extraction. Quite simply, Superflux reworks the order of things.

January the 12th marked the last day of the exhibition The World As We Don’t Know It in the gallery space of @droog.
We thank all 20 international artists who shared their visions on the climate crisis. All of them pleaded for different relationships between humankind and the earth. Now that the exhibition has come to a close, this theme and the impact of their work will continue for many more years to come: Finding a more modest role for humans on this earth and a closer relationship between ecology and ethics.
Have you missed the exhibition, and would you still like to know more about it? Read more in this article by The Parool.
As part of the program of the exhibition The World As We Don’t Know It, the Embassy of the North Sea and MUST cordially invite you to a participatory meeting about the Hollandse Kust West wind farm, one of the many wind farms that the Dutch government wants to build in the North Sea in the coming years. With a multidisciplinary team, the Embassy is working on radical perspectives on the underwater world in a wind farm. Their aim is to make an alternative entry for the tender ‘Windmill Park Hollandse Kust West’. The term for submitting to this tender (a project that is open to input from various parties) closes in April 2022. Your input during this participation event is highly appreciated and can still be processed!
Research team wind farm tender The team working on the wind farm tender consists of landscape architect Ziega van de Berg, sociologist Darko Lagunas, aquatic ecologist Maarten Erich, architect Bruno Vermeersch, advisor Susan Arts, Halima Tantawy, student of International Land and Water Management and Thijs Middeldorp from the Embassy. Based on the premise that the sea and marine life are independent entities, the team investigates and listens to the diverse human and more than human interests that play a role in wind farms.
The World As We Don’t Know it @droog This event is part of the programme of the exhibition The World as We Don’t Know It, which would have been on view until January 12, 2022 in the gallery@droog, but is now closed due to lockdown. In this exhibition, curated by Renny Ramakers, 20 international artists share their vision of the climate crisis. Landscape architect Ziega van den Berk participates on behalf of the Embassy of the North Sea with her project Doggerland, The Breeding Ground of the North Sea (2020). She proposes a design for a wind farm in which she takes existing landscape and marine life into account. From the scale of the entire Dogger landscape to that of the windmills, all design choices focus on fostering diverse and rich marine life.
The government announced on the 14th of January that all culinary establishments will have to remain closed until further notice. Of course we were very eager to welcome you back, but it appears our re-meeting is going to be pushed back for a few more days.
Please keep an eye out on our social media channels and website for more updates, and hopefully we can bring you great news soon!
In the meantime: enjoy your first few weeks of the year!
Last weekend we got the announcement that all establishments are going into a hard lockdown situation. Which means that, unfortunately, our doors will have to remain closed until the 14th of January.
Stay tuned on our social media channels @droogamsterdam & @drooggallery for any new updates on the matter, and exciting projects we’ll be working on in the meantime
We hope to be able to welcome you back soon at our gallery, restaurant and future events!
Wishing you a safe Holiday season,
Team @droog
