From leftover glass plates, vases, and candy jars, Atelier Remy & Veenhuizen composed Glass Arrangement — a frozen still life of transparency and balance. Each piece is carefully glued into place, forming a tabletop sculpture that feels both domestic and architectural. What was once a jumble of discarded glassware now stands as a delicate landscape — a celebration of light, reflection, and the quiet beauty of everyday objects reborn. A still life centrepiece ready to host your edibles.
Droog bought 5,135 leftover items from Dutch liquidation auctions: everything from handkerchiefs and dog baskets to mirrors and salt shakers. They invited 14 designers to “revive” the lots into a collection of 19 products, each sold in editions limited by the size of the lot, and launched the result during Salone del Mobile, Milan, 2010.
The concept was accompanied by a short manifesto (about re-directing creative energy and redesigning lifecycles) and a charming “new owner” photo campaign that documented each purchaser right after checkout.
