Droog co-founders Renny Ramakers and Gijs Bakker

DroogDroog (a Dutch word meaning "dry”) is a Dutch design company situated in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Droog was founded in 1993 by product designer Gijs Bakker and design historian Renny Ramakers.

During the Milan Furniture Fair in 1993, the duo presented a selection of sober designs made of industrial materials and found objects. The presentation was titled 'Droog Design', because of the simplicity and dry humor of the objects.
