Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Amsterdam-based design label Droog has collaborated with Japanese designers Bow Wow for a townhouse in the Dutch capital. A replica will go on show at Design Miami next month.

While Droog says the house's facade is "understated," the interior will be furnished exclusively with the label's designs that will "animate" the minimalist wooden floors and white walls.

Those items include the 1991 Ragchair and Milk bottle lamp by Tejo Remy, the Heat wave radiator by Joris Laarman and the Tile kitchen by Arnout Visser, Erik Jan Kwakkel, and Peter van der Jagt.

Overall, the so-called Townhouse will boast a space of 180 square meters that can be customized in layout. The designers are hoping that the seamless spaces of the structure will create a "unique combination of contact and independence, spaciousness and intimacy."

Droog's announcement follows the launch of Daniel Libeskind's first ready-made house that can also be modified based on clients' wishes.

Design Miami will take place December 1-5, coinciding with Art Miami, Art Basel Miami and Photo Miami, among others.
