About the Item

"Meridiana" is an iconic chair, designed by Christophe Pillet and manufactured by Driade, with a chromed or matte black painted steel structure and with a shell in polycarbonate completely upholstered in leather by means of vacuum technology. Indoor use only. DIMENSIONS: D. 22.8", W. 22.4", H. 32.8", Seat H. 17.7" 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 gray, 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 Christophe Pillet, Driade
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.
