Droog has done a complete overhaul on their website to make it so much more handy. If you’re not familiar with Droog, they are one of the most influential organizations in Dutch Design. It’s a treat to explore their wittey design objects and furniture, and it’s een more of a pleasure to explore this easily on their site. Mind you, their last site had this sort of adolescent game-like quality to it that made it fun as well. But if you were looking for something specific then forget it.

Before I get started, I have to thank Kay McMahon of Wallpaper* for providing hundreds of fantastic photographs of the 2008 Milan Design Week which includes events from the Zona Tortona and the Salone Del Mobile. Although I don’t have descriptions for each image, leave a comment about any piece you’re curious about and I’ll find out what it is for you, I promise.

If you want to see Kay’s images in their entirety, go to her Flickr page and if you want to read about the exciting debuts that happened this past week, then check out Wallpaper*s fantastic coverage of Milan’s most exciting events.

Included are a number of objects or scenes that are very, very exciting in no particular order:

Bathtub of the gods. 

The next three images are from Bisazza. A sculpture by Jaime Hayon. 

Black Pig Side Table: Possibly Moooi? Yes.

What would the interiors look like if Santa Clause were married to Toni Basil? Now you know.

 Didn’t Olivia Newton John patent this look?

Too simple for Robert Kaindl, but equally beautiful.

Pink Jellyfish. 

These look like Marcel Wanders chewed gum moose heads in gold. 

 Mirrored Orbs.

Wallpaper* Party? 

Red Cocktail olives with lights. 

Horse Lamp from Moooi 

Massive Table Lamp tall enough to be a floor lamp. Marcel Wanders again?

Kay took so many images that I’m breaking these images up into multiple posts that I’ve categorized a bit. I call this post The White Album for its overwhelming whiteness.

I get so many more press releases these days from people promoting their furniture. That is how I found out about the Storage Unit by Eric Jourdan. If your piece looks like this beautiful piece of furniture or anthing close to this then please send your press release immediately because I would love to feature your stuff. This piece features an ingenious curved walnut frame with a highly desirable lacquered set of shelves. It’s like a dark rich Zune that has blown up in scale (sorry Apple, I’m tired of the iPod analogy). If your piece does not look like this or anything close to it, then please go away.
