Designed by Philippe Starck
There are objects that are universally recognized as icons. The Costes armchair, which in 1984 marked the beginning of the collaboration between Philippe Starck and Driade, and the consecration of the then-unknown designer in Italy, is certainly one such object.

You can see a Fifties flavor in the curvature of the backrest – generously padded like the seat – and in the 4-legged structure in light and dynamic metal rod, which becomes more […]
The Tokyo-Pop collection marks, in 2002, the debut on the international scene by Tokujin Yoshioka, now considered one of the masters of contemporary design. The sofa, the armchair and especially the chaise longue and the stool, forget the banality of rotational molding to become sculptures. Unforgettable and unusual shapes.
Design has recently begun to reread the last 80s, a period full of hedonistic sings. Ludovica and Roberto Palomba embrace this input in a collection for driade that combines some of this aesthetic hallmarks as straight cast-aluminium structure elegantly painted and damier decoration.
