For this year’s Salon del Mobile in Milan, the highly inventive, active and innovative company Droog decided to buy various lots of remaindered items from liquidation sales, and then offered the batches of unusual things to 14 designers to transform in some way. Things like glassware and safety vests and dog baskets and wooden spoons … none of it particularly nice, so it was a challenge. I had this wacky idea. I had just had my fingernails done in LA for the first time, and I was fascinated with how quickly and nicely the manicurist put designs on my nails. So I proposed that we get 80 manicurists and get one each to decorate a chair. Incredibly, they went for it. Via bantjes.com.
