To speak of Driade is to speak of Italian design’s most poetic rebellion. Founded in 1968 by Enrico Astori, Antonia Astori, and Adelaide Acerbi, the brand was never meant to conform — it was created to provoke, to seduce, and to remind us that a home is not simply a place, but a performance.
Every Driade piece feels alive. From the surreal silhouette of the Nemo armchair to the sculptural lines of Tokyo-Pop or Lord Yo, its creations blur the boundaries between art and function. Driade doesn’t just make furniture — it curates emotion, balancing eccentricity and elegance in equal measure.
Its collaborations read like a hall of fame of creative genius: Philippe Starck, Fabio Novembre, Patricia Urquiola, and Naoto Fukasawa, among others. Each has translated Driade’s restless vision into tangible form — expressions of identity, whimsy, and provocation rendered in plastic, aluminium, and lacquered steel.
Unlike minimalist brands that strive for restraint, Driade embraces the theatrical. It celebrates contrast — light and shadow, modern and baroque, real and imagined. To own a Driade piece is to invite conversation; to decorate with it is to declare that your space has a soul, and that it dares to dream.
At Royal Interiors Singapore, Driade lives as the heartbeat of avant-garde interiors. It’s the choice of those who see design not merely as comfort or status, but as art in motion — fluid, expressive, and unapologetically bold.
