Piatto da Portata in Porcellana THE WHITE SNOW AGADIR di Antonia Astori e Paola Navone per Driade

Antonia Astori fonda Driade nel 1968 insieme al fratello Enrico e Adelaide Acerbi.

Oltre a disegnare mobili, ha svolto il ruolo di coordinatrice del progetto, arrivando a costruire una rete unica di design di mobili, mostre e negozi.

Ha progettato i sistemi di contenimento precursore Oikos I, Oikos II e Pantos. A quei sistemi, Antonia Astori unisce il design di singoli pezzi in cui il senso dell'abitare è sempre al centro.

Con questo spirito ha disegnato Aforismi, la Collezione San Souci e, successivamente, lo scrittoio Virginia e la libreria Eileen.

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.
