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 in white or black colors or in transparent polycarbonate in clear or smoky gray colors. The version with chromed steel structure and with shell in clear transparent polycarbonate only is available in quick ship. 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 Transparent 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-colored 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 colors: 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 he has been working as an independent designer. His work ranges from furniture to product design, from interior design to architecture and exhibit design. He works, among others, with Artelano, Cappellini, Ceccotti, JC Decaux, Driade, Mazzega, Moroso, Trussardi, Daum, Moët e Chandon, Ecart International, Lacoste Lancome, l’Oreal, Shiseido, Whirlpool. Nominated Creator of the Year in 1995, he has exhibited his works at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Lucerne and at many other prestige venues.
