About the Item

"Meridiana" is an iconic armchair, designed by Christophe Pillet and manufactured by Driade, on rubber feet or soft castors, with polished die-casting aluminum height adjustable structure and shell in polycarbonate completely upholstered in leather by means of vacuum technology. Indoor use only. DIMENSIONS: D. 22.8", W. 22.4", H. 31.8", Seat H. 16.3" Height adjustability: overall height 31.8"/35", seat height 16.3"/19.4", armrest height 24.9"/28.1". In 2004 Christophe Pillet designed Meridiana, the iconic chair of Driade collection, taking inspiration from diamonds: facets of cut diamonds capture and reflect light. A chair, a small armchair and a stool are available in different versions: transparent, smoky grey, white, black, red or with leather upholstery. A seat with an unmistakable, easily identifiable look, perfect for a dining room, a study or an office. CHRISTOPHE PILLET graduated in Decorative Arts in Nice in 1985, then cooperated with Philippe Starck to become, in 1993, an independent designer whose main interests are projects dealing with with interior design and interior architecture. He takes part of this new and interesting pulse being contemporary French design; he was nominated for “Designer of the Year” in 1994. Scrupulous designer for his rigorous choice of materials and finishings, from the beginning he searched a sober elegance in his collaboration with brands such as Edra, Trussardi, Daum, Lancôme, Shiseido and Whirpool.

Meridiana Chair in Black Leather by Christophe Pillet for Driade
By Driade, Christophe Pillet
Located in Brooklyn, NY
The Meridiana table stems from the ultimate globetrotter chair, revised this year with solid wooden legs. An archetype of the coffee shop or domestic table, it displays a precious balance between the round, wood particleboard top and the solid wood frame and legs. A mass-coloured clay mixture is smoothed over the top by hand with a scraper. The table’s aesthetic is distinguished by the shaded, handmade finish of its top. Available in the following colours: Volcano red, Lava black and Champagne. Born in 1959, he graduated from the Academy of Decorative Arts in Nice in 1985 and a year later took a post-graduate course at the Domus Academy in Milan. From 1986 to 1988 he worked with Martine Bedin in Milan, and from 1988 to 1993 with Philippe Starck in Paris. His first items of furniture, issued by XO, date from 1991. Since May 1993...

Mario Bellini 'Cab' Lounge Chair, Tubular Steel and Leather by Cassina
By Mario Bellini, Cassina
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Loounge chair designed by Mario Bellini in 2015. Manufactured by Cassina in Italy. Roomy and inviting, cab lounge is a restatement of the cab chair concept. Nothing short of a masterpiece of craftsmanship, the Cab Lounge armchair is perfectly suited to both residential or contract use. The leather upholstery fits the tubular steel frame like an exquisitely tailored garment, complementing the curves, in a perfect symbiosis between the structural and the organic. The eleven leather sections, hand-stitched and fitted with four zipper closures, undergo fourteen hand-executed processes before they are complete. Fitted with a reclining mechanism, the five-spoke base sets off the entire chair, while the ergonomically correct design renders it extraordinarily comfortable; the care taken in the details is without equal.

He was editor of Domus magazine (1985-1991). He has designed countless art, design and architecture exhibitions over the years, both in Italy and abroad: among the latest those at Palazzo Reale with Giotto's masterpieces (2016) and - at the Milanese Museo del '900 - the one dedicated to Margherita Sarfatti (2018-2019). In 2015 the Milan Triennale awarded him the Gold Medal for his career in architecture and in 2017 dedicated a retrospective exhibition to him. The same exhibition that will be organized again in Moscow in March 2019. Since 1991 he is Royal Honorary Designer of RDI. Since the 1980’s Mario Bellini, dedicating himself almost entirely to architecture, has designed numerous kinds of buildings including the Portello Trade Fair district in Milan, the Villa Erba Exhibition and Convention Centre in Cernobbio (Como), the Tokyo Design Centre in Japan, the Natuzzi America Headquarters in the United States, the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, the Deutsche Bank Headquarters in Frankfurt, the City History Museum of Bologna, the Department of Islamic Art at the Louvre in Paris, the new Milan Convention Centre - the largest in Europe - and in Rome-Fiumicino the new international Airterminal T3 has been completed, while the new Headquarters Generali Group in Trieste has just been inaugurated.
