Chest of drawers #100 for Droog, special drawer by Ted Noten

Chest of drawers number 100 by Tejo Remy

Chest of drawers had its première in 1991 and has since become a true Droog classic, an icon of conceptual design collected by museums such as MoMA and Museum of Art and Design in New York. A criticism on consumerism, Tejo Remy collected found drawers, gave them new enclosures and loosely bundled them into a chest. His pioneering vision was to make one’s own paradise with what one encounters, as Robinson Crusoë did on his island.

The unique number 100 has been made in collaboration with Dutch jewellery designer Ted Noten who created a special perspex drawer. Items that are usually hidden away, like a revolver, cocaine and diamonds, are now fixed in the material forever.
