They are objects of art and daily use, souls combing harmoniously. All this makes Driade unique in design world.

Driade creates products that are unique, eclectic, eccentric but at the same time elegant, timeless and, above all, joyful. The art of living is based on the idea that eclecticism, mélange of cultures, curiosity and surprise are the true essence of our age.
Being permeable to differences makes Driade project a highly topical proposal one that is open to the future. Driade also denies the flattening of globalization but senses its vitality and freshness resulting from the multiplication of places and the development of ideas.
