Saturday 14th May: Private Traditional Japanese Dinner
With special chef in residence: ASA Vegan Sushi

The second week of May marks a very significant date: we have our very first chef in residence staying over @droog!

 

Vegan sushi master Asako will be staying at the one and only Hotel Room and is bringing the Japanese traditional cuisine with her. This means we have a very tempting opportunity for culinary enthusiasts, as you’re invited to join her for a traditional Japanese night, celebrating the heritage of one of the most refined cuisines out there.

 

This is your chance to experience the Japanese culinary journey as it should be: in an intimate setting, with the chef herself at the table to explain the philosophy behind each dish as well as the crockeries she brought from Japan. We have a very detailed menu planned for you, including a paired sake tasting and Japanese tea. Will you join us in the hotel room @droog?

 

This evening includes:

  • Multiple rounds of ASA’s vegan sushi, freshly made in front of you
  • Appetizer
  • Sake tasting provided by Otemba Sake
    (non-alcoholic beverages also possible)
  • Fresh fruits and traditional tea to close this special evening

 

Make sure to act fast if you want to join in, as we only have 4/5 spots available for each session.

European Design Award for Hôtel Droog

SILO wins another award! They received a Silver European Design Award for Hôtel Droog in the category Brand Logo.

“SILO created a visual identity and signage system inspired by American motel signage. Bright light, color and specific forms characterize these signs along the highways. Within the identity, SILO recomposed these style elements and stripped them of all color into a contemporary, dry graphic interpretation, appropriate to the Droog brand.”

Low-tech Factory at Hôtel Droog

What at first glance appears to be a rocking chair, turns out to be a knitting machine. And while you sit and rock on the chair, a knitted hat is created. As you do a little dance on a platform, an expandable carrying bag is made. Another spectacular machine makes popcorn—a single kernel at a time.

Low-Tech Factory is a project by ECAL/Ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne, Switzerland. In a workshop led by Chris Kabel and Thomas Kral, students from Bachelor in Industrial Design and Master in Product Design created a series of simple but sophisticated machines that not only create an experience, but actually produce finished goods—hats, mirrors, bags, toys, lamps and popcorn.

With this project, the theme of auto-production is raised. Recently we have seen countless designers make their own machines. And while it often seems the machine becomes more important than the result, in this case, the design of the machine and its resulting product are in balance.

The exhibition presents six machines with videos. At the opening on March 21st, the designers will demonstrate the machines themselves. The question—why are designers making so many machines—still remains. With this question, we will enter into a debate on March 21st with Alexis Georgacopoulos, director of ECAL, Chris Kabel, Joanna van der Zanden and Joris Laarman. The evening will be moderated by Tracy Metz.
