| DRIADE / MILAN INTERNATIONAL FURNITURE FAIR 2006 |
Driade was founded in 1968. Right from the start it worked with designers able to anticipate new lines of research and trends.
Driade is an all-embracing project defining an aristocratic aesthetic of home living, in progressive, constant evolution. Its well-rounded catalogue is composed of Sistemi, a project-in-progress of containers by Antonia Astori, which structure the home and constitute its backbone, and of Aleph, a collection of pieces with strong formal identity created by world-famous designers.
Definable as a collector's home, Driade offers furniture featuring marked symbolic worth, pieces that ideally dialogue with Sistemi elements to construct a habitat able to harmonize diversities in a unitary image given coherence by the same expressive tension.
A latest-generation design laboratory, more than a furniture collection Aleph its a constantly updated register of new trends in international design. Along differentiated design routes, each of which is an impassioned dialogue with well-known designers providing personal creative poetics, Aleph makes it own contribution to exploration and innovation in a program open to the future.
The Driade home is sophisticated and eclectic and the harmonious coexistence of different styles and languages is guaranteed by equal aesthetic quality.
Belonging to the Driade trademark are the DriadeChef kitchen catalogues, the Oikos, EasyOikos, Kaos and Pantos systems, and DriadeAleph furniture. The DriadeStore brand is a line of furniture destined for a youthful public. The Follies and D.House object catalogues are part of the DriadeKosmo brand.
