Driade
Italian furniture brand Driade offers modern designs that are joyful, whimsical and slightly mischievous — words that might be used to describe the tree nymph of Greek mythology for which the company is named. Faye Toogood’s chunky, stout Roly Poly armchair and Fabio Novembre’s enigmatic Nemo chair — in which a backrest assumes the form of a human face — are just two examples of Driade’s eclectic furnishings.
Driade was founded in 1968 by brother and sister Enrico and Antonia Astori, and Adelaide Acerbi Astori, Enrico’s wife. Described by the company as a “factory of art,” Driade was focused solely on bringing distinctive and creative seating, case pieces and decorative objects to market in its early years. The brand sought to mass-produce decor and furniture that could also be seen as provocative works of art.
Driade's initial collaborations included Italian designers such as Enzo Mari, Nanda Vigo, Giotto Stoppino and Rodolfo Bonetto, to name a few. In the 1980s, the brand worked with influential and renowned designers from around the globe. In 1984, Driade partnered with French designer Philippe Starck and debuted his iconic Costes armchair during the same year. Projects with architects and furniture designers such as Ron Arad, Toyo Ito, Borek Sipek, Patricia Urquiola and others followed into the 2000s.
Over more than five decades — the company celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2018 — Driade’s fruitful partnerships have culminated in a vast catalog of chairs, sofas, coffee tables and other furnishings for the home and garden that evoke a unique and diverse blend of cultures.
Driade has also garnered international acclaim, winning the Compasso d’Oro award in 1979 and 2001 for Enzo Mari’s Delfira chair and ebony-finished, chipboard-top table, and again in 2008 for Ron Arad’s MT3 rocking armchair.

- Alain Delon Travertine, Brass and Gold Dining Table, France, 1980sBy Maison Jansen, Alain Delon, Roche BoboisLocated in Amsterdam, NLHigh-end travertine, brass and gold plated metal dining table by Alain Delon. An impressive dining table made of the most beautiful travertine with a cross shaped brass inlay. The table rests on a gold plated metal base. It has place for six dining chairs, but additionally two extra chairs could be placed at the table ends. We received this dining table from the first owner who bought it new at Roche Bobois in the first half of the 1980s. The former owner told us he bought it as an Alain Delon dining table. We examined other designs by Alain Delon and are convinced by his story. The table has the same geometric shapes like the backgammon table by Alian Delon. It is all high quality and luxurious design. The table is in very good condition with only some traces of use consistent with age and use. This is an unique, hard to get and very high end dining table...Category
