	House 8A: Bloomingdale / Bloemendaal Go Slow: Droog with Marije Vogelzang, sloom.org (Rianne Makkink and Herman Verkerk) and Hansje van Halem	About Droog Droog started in 1993 as a statement on design, a no-nonsense, down to earth design mentality. Droog has its flagship store and office, Factory & Outlet, the Creative agency and the Lab in Amsterdam, stores in New York and in Tokyo, and distributes in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. www.droog.com About Marije Vogelzang Marije Vogelzang knows all about the magic of eating design. Food is not just the things lying on your plate, but also the atmosphere, the sound, the people you’re with, the story behind the ingredients. It’s about using all your senses. www.proefamsterdam.nl	About Rianne Makkink Rianne Makkink started her own office in 1990 together with architect Rients Dijkstra and worked on big urban design projects. From 2003 she founded the design office Studio Makkink & Bey together with Jurgen Bey. www.studiomakkinkbey.nl About Herman Verkerk Herman Verkerk founded his office Eventarchitectuur in 1993 in Amsterdam with commissions including fashion shows, shops, offices and houses, along with installations and exhibition designs for cultural institutions in the Netherlands and abroad. Since 2003 Rianne Makkink and Herman Verkerk collaborate under the name sloom.org. www.eventarchitectuur.nl	About sloom.org Sloom.org was founded in 2003 by Rianne Makkink and Herman Verkerk. It initiates activities that express a reconsideration of architecture, urban and landscape design, no longer from a critical distance but a direct intervening method. As the discussion of ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture has been taken over by the discussion about ‘fast’ and ‘slow’, sloom.org embraces the potential of ‘slowness’. www.sloom.org About Hansje van Halem Hansje van Halem has worked as an independent graphic designer since 2003. With the computer as her favorite tool, typography turned from hobby to profession. Claiming she doesn’t know much about letterforms, she usually starts with existing forms and transforms them. www.hansje.net
