Designed by Philippe Starck
Costes chair debuted in 1984, marking the beginning of the partnership between Philippe Starck and Driade. A designer, formerly unknown in Italy, creates one of the world’s most iconic object.

Successful completion to the generous shapes of the famous Lord Yo armchair, Lord Yi table is surprising for its simplicity and the clear composition of the parties, deliberately signaled in his tripartite division of base, shaft and top.
A chair that incorporates the rounded 50’s style, however, ergonomically correct and more suitable for outdoor use. This is accomplished through the side slots, so fundamental to the flow of rainwater and to its stackability. Soft egg offers an organic image that can melt, so amazingly, with the organic unity of nature.

A flexible table designed by Patrick Norguet for Kristalia that can be stored easily, without sacrificing the elegance of its shape. Poule is ideal for public spaces, it’s easy to store and move around with lightweight structure.
A collection of important dining tables with a rounded and regular imprint of the top and trestle legs reminiscent of the workbenches and the archetypal shape of the table. A pleasantly minimal aspect revisited by a calibrated sizing, an evident materiality and a declared solidity.
