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.

A family of seatings that share an aesthetic and functional DNA. Every material is found to fit the best for each product, both for structures and surfaces.
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.
Laudani & Romanelli choose to rediscover the discretion of volumetric restraint. The armchair thus becomes an easy chair and a place of the individual, passepartout to forgotten customs: easy chairs around tables, in bedrooms or in vestibules.
