Lounge Chair Pratfall by Philippe Starck: An Icon Revived by Driade

Driade brings back to life the lounge armchair designed by Philippe Starck in 1984, originally part of the famous and iconic Costes series. This return to the roots captures the unmistakable elegance of the enveloping wooden shell and the three strongly inclined legs.

“Pratfall, a chair with a strong character and a comfortable, enveloping seat,” lends itself to beautifying the most refined spaces, both in domestic and hospitality settings.

In addition to the faithful reproduction in the same materials and upholstery as the Costes collection, the Driade Pratfall armchair is refreshed through a wide range of new combinations and pairings, offering curved plywood shells and leather upholstery.

When Gaming and Design Merge: Arcad3, Pow3r’s Pouf for Driade

Designer Pow3r proudly presents his latest masterpiece for Driade: the Driade Arcad3 pouf, a true celebration of the evolution of gaming from arcades to the intimacy of the domestic environment. A famous track by the Chemical Brothers used to say “Push the button,” but today, those buttons no longer belong solely to the nostalgic “arcade room”; they are now in the hands of gamers who, from the comfort of their rooms, are bringing the world closer to a future where reality and virtual reality harmoniously merge.
The object that Pow3r has conceived for Driade is an affectionate tribute to the arcade buttons of the 1980s, transforming the old vintage keys into a collection of unique design storage seats. Pow3r, passionate about architecture and design from a young age, finally had the opportunity, after years of university study, to create a piece that bears his signature, and not for just any brand, but for Driade, one of the design world’s excellences.

This exceptional project, which combines pop culture and gaming, represents the culmination of Pow3r’s dreams and marks a significant moment in his career. It is also a heartfelt thank you to the gaming world that inspired and guided him in creating a unique object that seamlessly blends nostalgia and innovation. The Arcad3 pouf is a fascinating fusion of past and present, embodying a love for design and pop culture in perfect harmony.

Reflective Shades: Marcelo Burlon and the Creation of ‘Edaird’ for Driade

Marcelo Burlon has brought “Edaird” to life, a mirror that evokes the tribal essence of Argentinean lands and skies. The Driade Edaird mirror is enriched by the County of Milan logo, originally a Tehuelche cross, reworked in 2019 by Bureau Borsche.

This logo symbolizes the key to the universe and its door, but also represents a mountain reflected in a lake, embodying a reflective symbolism, as if it were a mirror itself. Its distinctive electric blue color, identifying County of Milan, adds depth to “Edaird,” whose name is an anagram of “Driade,” emphasizing this unique vision.

Marcelo Burlon, the founder of County of Milan, originally started with t-shirts as a universal canvas to express his vision. Over 10 years, the brand expanded, encompassing not only clothing and accessories but also fragrances, interior fabrics, automobiles, and beverages. Collaboration with Driade represents a new adventure into uncharted territories for him, and Burlon is excited about this opportunity.
