Droog lab

The Droog lab is free, unrestricted and exploratory, yet has a very ambitious mission: to define the next generation of global design. The Lab identifies urgencies on a global level and investigates them locally, with local partners, consulting experts, and known and unknown designers. Outcomes find their way into Droog stores, publications, exhibitions, or client proposals in collaboration with the Creative agency.
