droog design things story

“Objects tell stories about moments in our lives, people we have met and
places we have been to. What happens with products after they have left
the store?”
Last year Front did a very successful survey ‘Story of Things’, interviewing
Swedish people about objects in their homes. The outcome inspired Front
in designing a special collection of items and their stories. But what are the
similarities and differences in the life of objects at homes all over the
world? What makes people love or hate an object?

On the occasion of their exhibition at droog@home in Amsterdam, Fronts
launches Story of Things world-wide.

Your object can be the origin of the next Front design! Your story could
also feature in the special edition Front intends to publish with the
outcome of Story of Things.

During the exhibition at droog@home, from September 23 to October 23,
Front will present a selection of the most inspiring contributions on the
Droog website.

selection), and if you wish, write down and send us your personal stories

Something I like
“I have quite a lot of teddy bears, for example, they are quite personal.
It’s a bit of a pain in the ass, really, if you have a lot of teddy bears. I’ve
got them under the covers. But then I also have some teddy bears in the
attic. And that’s not very nice. But before, I kept them in a trash bag, like
upside down and so, and now I’ve fixed them up more nice and tidy like,
which feels much better. It’s impossible to throw them away. Some things
has got a personality like my chihuahua, but he is completely cross-eyed,
so I get scared some times when he kind of gives me a strange look. "
