An armchair/character, with an organic outline, perhaps anthropomorphous, conceived with leather directly fixed on a fiberglass skeleton. A tribute, to the great Carlo Mollino and to the Danish design of the 50s, led by Starck with impeccable mastery. The frame is the result of a complex and skilful construction: a first outer shell made of Baydur is fixed on a steel core which is then attached on another Baydur shell and on a polyurethane foams layer. The armchair, then, is entirely covered in leather and hand-stitched. The unexpected comfort is given by its perfect ergonomics.

Even a classical image, as a railed chair, in the hands of Philippe Starck acquires a particular connotation. In Pip-e, the sequence of horizontal elements, which create the seat and back definetly, takes on a strong chiaroscuro and goes, unexpectedly, to accompany the bending of the knees.
in the eclectic identity of Driade, i have always perceived a hint of french culture, just as i have always been fascinated by the interiors of parisian homes for their expert combination of furnishings and classical items, along with vintage pieces and contemporary objects.’ Alberto Lievore La Francesa issues from this imaginative background, a refined […]
Dam is a transversal small armchair, characterized by a wrapping and comfortable well recognizable backrest. Seat, lumbar support and backrest/armrests are the three elements that, held together in an invisible way. Available in a single fabric or with a gradient of different tones for a best match with the spaces to be furnished.
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.
The quality of being modest: The freedom from vanity, the respect for discretion in the conduct, in the language, in the clothing, the simplicity, the moderation, designed to prevent the accidental exposure of a body part, a strip of modesty, of meekness.
