故宮 + droog 完美的crossover

荷蘭人又來了!!

他們對台灣的文化傾銷從百年前離開紅毛城後,再度登陸這小島。

DROOG,這個全球最『乾』的設計公司,
昨日公佈與台北故宮跨界攜手合作下的4 個新產品,
為的就是在全球消費文化下能繼續遵循museum=shopping 的偉大教條。
4個產品各自融合了中國古典元素以及DROOG 所信仰的
『讓產品的價值回歸本身』。


以下是來自dezeen 的新聞 XD

Droog show Taiwan fruits



Dutch design collective Droog have presented four new products developed in workshops organised by Taiwan’s National Palace Museum and Taiwan Design Centre.
Conducted by Droog co-founder Gijs Bakker in Taiwan last August, the workshops involved 30 designers and were intended to generate ideas for new products for the museum’s gift shop.




Each design interprets something from the museum’s collection. Sugar Cube (above) is, indeed, a sugar cube, but with a miniature model ship concealed inside that floats to the surface of the drink when the sugar melts. This refers to a tiny model ship in the museum.



Renew Palace Museum in Your Home (top) is a kit for applying an antique floral pattern to things like empty Absolut bottles; Vase with a Design of Flowers and Fruits (above) is a set of five vases and bowls that stack to form a replice Ming vase; while Ming Dolls (below) are a Manga-meets-Barbie take on a famous terracotta statuette of a voluptuous Chinese woman.
