Tejo Remy was born in 1960 in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. He studied at the Utrecht School of Arts. The drawings were born in the early 90s from a critical attitude towards the design culture of the 80s. The approach lies at the border between design and visual art. The work raises questions about the usefulness, necessity and use of things. Tejo Remy has collaborated with Droog Design since its inception with the 1991 classics such as the Chest of Drawers 'You can't lay down your memory' chest of drawers, the Rag Chair and the Milkbottle Lamp, and has gained international acclaim. The chest of drawers has been classified as one of the best creations of the last 100 years of Dutch design and has achieved iconic status. His works are exhibited worldwide and are part of several collections, among others: MOMA, New York; Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Helsinki Design Museum...
