Designed by Eugeni Quitllet
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.

Many years ago, at its beginning, Lord Yo was simply a polypropylene easy chair with an aluminum structure, now it’s an icon. Recognized and recognizable anywhere and by anyone. It took Philippe Starck to carry out such an extraordinary stunt, built with soft curves and raised back, almost a throne, and slightly bent legs. Then […]
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. Designed for the once homonymous, now disappeared Parisian cafe, owes its timeless success to the absoluteness of forms: a dark wooden embracing structure with three […]
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.
Created to complement the homonymous chair, Toy table, lives, indeed, an independent life thanks to the elegance of its stem, strongly tapered. A detail which, combined with the soft lines of connection with the top and the base, gives the piece an intense classical connotation.
The table has been inspired by the dynamism of a moving element, like the ribbon of a gymnast that vaults in the air drawing natural and soft shapes. Its original look furnishes the living area with a touch of essential harmony.
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.
Lievore Altherr Molina, the Barcelona-based design firm typically designs harmonious and balanced items as well as intense shapes balanced in a peaceful tension. For Driade they have designed Verlaine, a sofa complete with a pouf sporting an exceptionally expressive versatility that reminds of organic and flowing shapes. Its fascinating silhouette is an irresistible attraction inviting […]
