Porzellan-Espresso-Set THE WHITE SNOW AGADIR von Antonia Astori und Paola Navone für Driade - Vier-Set

Antonia Astori gründete Driade 1968 zusammen mit ihrem Bruder Enrico und Adelaide Acerbi.

Neben dem Möbeldesign spielte sie die Rolle der Projektkoordinatorin und baute ein einzigartiges Netzwerk aus Möbeldesign, Ausstellungen und Geschäften auf.

Sie entwarf die Vorläufer-Containment-Systeme Oikos I, Oikos II und Pantos. Zu diesen Systemen verbindet Antonia Astori das Design von Einzelstücken, bei denen das Wohngefühl immer im Mittelpunkt steht.

In diesem Sinne entwarf sie Aforismi, die San Souci Collection und später den Virginia Schreibtisch und das Eileen Bücherregal.

Straightforward, a dreamer and eclectic: her mind and soul are a combination of flavours and colours of the South of the world - known, loved and lived - together with the taste and forms of the West, rich in traditions, open and continuously in movement. All of this produces her untiring curiosity in her research for matters and materials, forms and structures. In her research for the present, the past and the future. Paola Navone is an architect.
