EVER MORE ORIGINAL DESIGNERS

The Italian company collaborates with renowned international designers, well known in the world of artistic creation. These include Ron Arad and his atypically styled Clover chair. But also Philippe Starck and his Monseigneur range, comprising several seating formats: armchairs, sofas, ottomans. In 2007, it was Starck with whom the brand celebrated their long creative union, which has linked them since 1984.

Driade has also collaborated with other famous Italian designers. Fabio Novembre, the brand's artistic director, offered his famous Nemo armchair, recognizable by its face shape. It's a remarkable masterpiece, featured for example in the successful Lupin series.
