The Rag chair is layered from the contents of 15 bags of rags. When you buy one of these it will come home finished but you can add more to it, first thing you are recycling and second it becomes unique and treasure-chest of memories. - 1991 Materials used Rags and metal strips.
These Chest of drawers are one of the Droog classic - Tejo Remy collected founded drawers and gave them new enclosures and builded them into a chest. His pioneering vision was to make one´s own paradise with one encounters, as Robinson Crusoe did on his island.
Atelier Remy & Veenhuizen uses simple materials in strikingly original ways. They prefer to do hands on experimentation and avoid designing with computer assistance. In there large room light-filled studio just outside the historical core of Utrecht, they bond, fuse, glued and manipulated fabric, glass, wood, cement and other materials, creating, testing and fabricating new designs and Ideas.
They love to use a cheap material, or used materials, and give them a new value. They experimented with soft design becomes hard , light becomes heavy, slick and colourful becomes matte and concrete grey.
