Driade
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.

- "Virgo" Black Anodized Aluminum Open Bookcase Designed by Xavier Lust for DriadeBy Driade, Xavier LustLocated 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. XAVIER LUST studied interior design at Institut Saint Luc...Category
