tejo remy (1960 –)
Explore the conceptual & functional designs of Dutch artist Tejo Remy, known for repurposing materials & collaborating with design icons like Droog.
High Museum of Art (Atlanta, United States of America)
The High Museum of Art stands as a beacon illuminating Atlanta’s artistic landscape, boasting an impressive collection encompassing 19th-century American decorative arts alongside groundbreaking contemporary art. Its striking white enamel facade and innovative roof system create a serene backdrop for experiencing art history and fostering community engagement.
Tejo Remy’s concept for this chest is a functional and visual marker of spaces to hold and retain memories. By creating a new context for old, forgotten parts (the drawers), he recycles the works and the meaning found within and around them. In 2008, the High sent out a statewide call for submissions of drawers from any type of furniture to be included; the chosen entries were assembled on site by Remy based on the original design Remy first debuted with Droog in 1991. His design philosophy champions a more responsible, moral, and simplistic approach, as demonstrated with these repurposed drawers.
