Marcel Wanders designed many products for Droog Design.  　

“Swing”

Quoted by Wanders, “I believe that every girl dream to be a beautiful princess, hoping for her prince to come, swinging gently in a summer garden on a green covered swing full of green glossy leafs and fresh white flowers."

The seat is made of polyethylene and hung by ropes. There are two openings on the ends of the seat where soil can be added and planted with seeds. When these plants have grow ninto the beautiful vines that wrap around these ropes, “it becomes a poetic resting place for either your garden or your living room.”

 An event called “Garden of Delight” was held in Milan by Droog Design where the swings were featured as one of the hands-on installations. People came in to relax, get away from the dangerous world and could just enjoy themselves without worries. They entered into an enchanted forest, got massages, enjoyed a picnic and wonderful, calming music of birds chirping, while swinging on the “Swing” that hung from the ceilings.

“Set Up Shades”

These lamps designed by Marcel for Droog Design took the expected, which is the usual, simple shades that we expect to buy when we purchase a lamp and transformed it into the unexpected by stacking a series of shades on top of each other. Available in three sizes, they not only look like a sculpture or artwork but it displays Marcel‘s play with type-forms to make something unsual but beautiful. This is a great example of Marcel‘s ability to take something like a lamp shade, challenge its limitations by “exploring the boundaries” and making it into something striking, unique and innovative.
