Driade Mingx Bar Stool with Backrest

The family company Driade was founded in 1986 in the northern Italian town of Piacenza by Adelaide Acerbi and Enrico Astori (couple) and Antonia Astori, the sister of Mr Astori. Antonia Astori was responsible for the architecture and product design. In its first year of activity, Driade already recorded tremendous success. The furniture system by Antonia Astori was a huge hit.

During the 80s, the ‘Driade Aleph’ collection was added to the range. Designers such as Mathew Hilton, Philippe Starck and Ron Arad helped the Italian designer furniture company reach cult status for its innovative and globally recognizable products. Driade specializes in the development and manufacture of home and office furniture. Design lovers all over the world are delighted with armchairs, chairs, tables and sofas in Driade’s unique Italian style. Mid-nineties, the Driade Store label was created.
