Designer Biography:
Tejo Remy, along with Rene Veenhuizen, operates as a designer of products, interiors, and public spaces in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Their design philosophy involves using "everything as material," incorporating existing information, circumstances, or found goods into new contexts. This approach often enhances social interaction or narrates the story of a particular place. Despite transforming familiar objects, the essence remains intact.

Atelier Remy & Veenhuizen has been collaborating with Droog since its inception, gaining international recognition with iconic designs such as the Chest of Drawers, Rag Chair, and Milk Bottle Lamps. Their work has been commissioned and exhibited by prestigious institutions including the Museum of Art and Design in New York, MoMA in New York, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, among others.
