Driade Furniture
Italian
Italian furniture brand Driade offers modern designs that are joyful, whimsical and slightly mischievous — words that might be used to describe the tree nymph of Greek mythology for which the company is named. Faye Toogood’s chunky, stout Roly Poly armchair and Fabio Novembre’s enigmatic Nemo chair — in which a backrest assumes the form of a human face — are just two examples of Driade’s eclectic furnishings.
Driade was founded in 1968 by brother and sister Enrico and Antonia Astori, and Adelaide Acerbi Astori, Enrico’s wife. Described by the company as a “factory of art,” Driade was focused solely on bringing distinctive and creative seating, case pieces and decorative objects to market in its early years. The brand sought to mass-produce decor and furniture that could also be seen as provocative works of art.
Driade's initial collaborations included Italian designers such as Enzo Mari, Nanda Vigo, Giotto Stoppino and Rodolfo Bonetto, to name a few. In the 1980s, the brand worked with influential and renowned designers from around the globe. In 1984, Driade partnered with French designer Philippe Starck and debuted his iconic Costes armchair during the same year. Projects with architects and furniture designers such as Ron Arad, Toyo Ito, Borek Sipek, Patricia Urquiola and others followed into the 2000s.
Over more than five decades — the company celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2018 — Driade’s fruitful partnerships have culminated in a vast catalog of chairs, sofas, coffee tables and other furnishings for the home and garden that evoke a unique and diverse blend of cultures.
Driade has also garnered international acclaim, winning the Compasso d’Oro award in 1979 and 2001 for Enzo Mari’s Delfira chair and ebony-finished, chipboard-top table, and again in 2008 for Ron Arad’s MT3 rocking armchair.

Adam, designed by Borek Sipek for Driade, is a vase characterized by iconic shape, balanced by unusual elliptical inserts.
Borek Sipek (1949-2016) studied interior design at the school for Arts & Crafts in Prague from 1964-1968. He went to Germany to study architecture at the Kunsthochschule in Hamburg.

"Virgo" Black Anodized Aluminum Open Bookcase Designed by Xavier Lust for Driade

Located in Brooklyn, NY
"Virgo" is a black anodized aluminum open structure and shelves, designed by Xavier Lust and manufactured by Driade.
Indoor use only.
DIMENSIONS:
D. 11.8", W. 47.2", H. 78.7"
"Virgo" is an "under tension" structure which assumes the typological image of a bookcase but it actually leads us to think about concave and convex surfaces relation, as well as about the energy of a bow-string. The “composition of forces” is clearly expressed by the finally achieved equilibrium. So thanks to its sculptural form, Virgo can be used as a wall bookcase and, above all, can be placed in the middle of a room.

"Lybra" Tempered Glass and Steel Table Designed by Elliott Littman for Driade
By Driade, Elliott Littman
Located in Brooklyn, NY
"Lybra" is a dining table, designed by Elliott Littman and manufactured by Driade, featuring a silver grey painted steel structure with tempered glass th. 0.47" top.
Indoor use only.
DIMENSIONS:
D. 56.7", W. 127.5", H. 28.3"
Tables can be considered as a project in tension between architecture and sculpture for a designer. Littman visualizes this Dual nature designing Lybra table by emphasizing the supporting steel beam, making it clear through top transparency and giving it the value of a craftwork.
ELLIOTT LITTMAN, a confirmed cultural wanderer intermediate between new world creative happiness and old world intellectual restlessness, moves quickly from Washington to Vienna, dividing himself impartially between New York and Milan and between the activity of critic and writer and constructive application to the furniture and structure themes.
Like a sculptor, Littman gives shape to function by modelling objects that are useful for daily life but also charming to look at, pieces of design similar to three-dimensional prostheses from a virtual universe built on descriptive geometrical magic. While for many years he has been exploring the mysteries of an “American archaeology” made of abandoned spaces...

Italic Lace Petal Placemat in Brass by Galante & Lancman for Driade
By Maurizio Galante and Tal Lancman, Driade
Located in Brooklyn, NY
The city of Siena in 1440 birthed the original lace items that provided the inspiration for a range of table accessories. Back then they were made with a crochet hook, now they are made using photogravure. They give a modern twist to an ancient version a memory and style soundly based in the traditions of this part of Italy. This gave rise to “Italic Lace”, a collection of refined placemats and coasters, designed for those who love to dress the table with elegance that is never casual. The finishes include shiny brass, glossy black, red and classical white.
In 2003, designer, Maurizio Galante, teamed up with trend forecast analyst and designer Tal Lancman, to form Interware. Their crossover vision transverses the different design disciplines, from fashion to furniture, interiors, architecture and gardening. As the duo moves freely between disciplines, they revisit domains equipped with new understandings, insights and observations. The process results in a multifaceted concept, with a subtle balance between the pragmatic and the irrational. Interware’s philosophy proposes a series of objects/companions; expressive, amusing, and thought-provoking designs, bestowing owners with their friendly presence. The team works on all elements of design and production, from trend research, to marketing, including definition of brand image, strategy, communication, packaging, and presentation. Clients and collaborations include American Express, Baccarat, Boffi Italia, Baleri, Chopard, Driade, Elipson, Felissimo Japan, Itochu Japan, Nokia, Nymphenburg, Pommery, Tai Ping...
