So far, Droog has rigorously avoided any semblance of a house style, while becoming famous for an attitude that seems to say, "Designers just want to have fun." As a result, it has probably generated more interesting discussion than useful innovation.

The show, itself a total Droog design, tries a little too hard to be amusing, but it mostly works. The objects are arrayed in 10 thematic groups with titles like "Simplicity," "Form Follows Process," "Use It Again" and "Irony." Each group is placed in an imaginary room or building whose full-scale plan is delineated on the floor by black and gray plastic strips.
