Each piece of furniture below is meticulously crafted, of course. Some are engineered. All are functional assets with graceful elegance that just happen to be a conversation starter. Meaning you can get back to being the best host, ever.
Welcome to the club — a fusion of form and philosophy...
1. Bo Chair

The Bo Chair: A Not So Mini-Marvel
The Bo Chair, designed by Philippe Starck for Driade, is a remarkable piece of designer outdoor furniture that combines aesthetics, functionality and durability. Ideal for both residential and commercial spaces, it stands out for its clever design that bends the rules for stacking chairs. One that never forgets its primary function: enhancing your day-to-day. Making it a worthwhile addition to patios, decks, gardens or alfresco dining year-round.
Design and Features
The design of the Bo Chair respects the principles governing stackable seating. With its front legs in closer proximity to one another, coupled with rear legs gracefully extending beyond the seat's periphery. Of course, Philippe Starck has never allowed himself to be hemmed in by the canon. With the Bo Chair, we find him pushing boundaries from his usual position of innovative pragmatism. This time quite literally. Pushing them back far enough to enlarge and deepen the seat, so the Bo Chair can also support you with a more ample backrest.
The Bo Chair is classic Starck. With a thin yet roomy profile and elegantly contoured shell, set atop four slender legs. Giving it a clean, uncluttered silhouette that remembers the golden rule: form follows function, always. Translating into a vision of you stacking up to 8 Bo Chairs at once, with ease. Making it an ever so simple yes, please for your next pool party or work function.
2. Nemo Chair

The Nemo Chair: Lending the Real World a Mythic Quality
Imagine stepping into a room and being greeted by an armchair that's a true work of art, a conversation starter and a portal to another world. Meet Nemo: the future icon shaped like a mask from an ancient Greek chorus. Its classic features wrapping around an inhabitable space that conceals and reveals in truly theatrical fashion. Both worldly and mythic, the Nemo Chair is a timeless statement for the bold and the curious.
Design and Features
The Nemo Chair was designed by Fabio Novembre, an Italian designer who uses furniture design to tell visionary tales. Nowhere is this more evident than Nemo, where a human figure is invited to sit within a human figure — becoming abstract and universal at once.
Nemo is rather tall and commands attention. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, Nemo will always make itself the centerpiece. Sit in it, and you're not just a guest; you're the star of the show. The protagonist in a story that the chair itself narrates.
Nemo is the kind of piece that doesn't just fit into the history of design; it shapes it.
3. Welcome Table Lamp

The Welcome Table Lamp: Where Light Meets Lifestyle
While many lamps are designed with a single purpose, the Welcome Table Lamp transcends this limitation. A multi-functional gem crafted by visionary Italian designer Fabio Novembre, it’s a centerpiece, a tray for knick-knacks and a pocket emptier, all rolled into one. All part of the plan for Novembre, who designed the lamp with a broad "gesture of inclusion" that allows for these functions to harmoniously coexist. To shift and change over time as you wish. Ready to serve in the traditional way one would expect, before going on to become a glowing centerpiece for canapes and petit fours, if you like.
Design and Features
One of the key features of the Welcome Table Lamp is its versatility for both indoor and outdoor use. Its durable construction makes it resistant to humidity and dust, allowing it to function effectively in many different environments. Plus, it can run through a wall socket or the complementary rechargeable battery, which lasts up to 8 hours. Meaning it can be easily moved and positioned for (just about) any occasion. Whether it's on a dining table, bedside table or your patio. With a transparent touch button adding a modern flair. Allowing you to adjust the light intensity while also indicating the charge level for its battery.
4. Elisa Outdoor Sofa and Armchair

The Elisa Outdoor Sofa: Your Very Own Cloud Nine
In the world of high-end outdoor living, the Elisa Outdoor Sofa and Armchair by Driade speak to the heart of Italian flair and functional design. Conceived by the iconic Enzo Mari, these two pieces of outdoor seating are more than places to sit; they're your ride to the clouds...
Design and Features
What truly sets the Elisa Outdoor Sofa and Armchair apart is their audacious approach to minimalist furniture. The steel architectural frame is a slimline dream for cloud gazers and lovers of airy aesthetics, but the true allure lies in their plush cushions. A heavenly blend of foam and polyester Solotex® blown fiber. Meaning? These cushions are not just visually arresting; they promise hours of unparalleled comfort.
As you sink into an Elisa, sipping on a glass of your favourite who knows what, taking in the beauty of your impeccably styled outdoor space, remember what you have always known: style starts right at home.
5. Kissino Outdoor Table

The Kissino Outdoor Table: Elegant, Timeless and Joyful
The Kissino Small Table was designed by Miki Astori, a Milan-born architect and designer who has been collaborating with Driade since 1995. It is the very definition of versatility — serving as a standalone table, a side table, a lamp and all of the above, for some. Plus, the table's compact size allows it to fit comfortably in a variety of settings, from a small balcony to a large patio and beyond. With a durable monobloc construction, it can withstand the elements and lively parties. Making this graceful and functional design perfect for many contemporary outdoor settings.
Design and Features
Miki Astori's design philosophy often involves balancing classical traditions from different sides of the world. Infusing Eastern suggestions within Western methodology and aesthetics. A fusion we can see in the Kissino Table's design. Starting with a pure form that speaks to ancient elegance and simplicity—from Athens to Rome. Being lit from within, it radiates with a soft glow akin to street lanterns that one would have seen in either metropolis. Or the footpaths of Bangkok in another era, perhaps. A city Astori visited at the turn of the millennium and often cites as inspiration.
6. Roly Poly Chair

The Roly Poly Chair: Child’s Play with Adult Aesthetics
When you encounter the Roly Poly Chair, you can almost imagine the designer behind it right away. The piece is so distinctive. So curious and inventive, just like Faye Toogood. A British designer known for her juxtapositions of form and substance. With the Roly Poly Chair being her most accessible piece to date.
The Roly Poly became an instant classic after Driade launched it back in 2014. Bringing a sense of lightness and curiosity to a variety of settings, wherever they may be. From a whimsical children's bedroom to a contemporary member’s lounge or by the pool, perhaps.
Design and Features
The Roly Poly Chair is characterised by its distinctive, cheerful design that consists of a curved, bowl-shaped seat and cylindrical legs that are impishly short. Giving this piece a jaunty, childlike quality. Sparking imagination wherever it goes...
There are also soft, padded cushions designed to pair with the Roly Poly. Nestling in its low-to-the-ground seat like a fluffy cloud with double-stitching. Or the soft and crinkled leather of a much-loved baseball mitt. A curious double act of references that link the Roly Poly’s extraterrestrial quality back to Earth. Speaking again to Toogood’s inspired approach to furniture design, where the Roly Poly seems to wink at you before inviting you to let your imagination run wild...
Iconic Status and Significance
The Roly Poly Chair is an actual icon. Just ask the curators at the National Gallery of Victoria, where you will find the Roly Poly on permanent display in the Member’s Lounge. Not to mention in countless spreads and column inches across the globe.
7. Flia Outdoor Lamp

Flia Outdoor Lamp: A Nomadic Lamp for Every Adventure
Designed by the esteemed Alessandro Zambelli and brought to life by Luceplan, the Flia outdoor lamp is a paragon of contemporary ideals. Echoing the natural world with a refined sensibility that Zambelli is known for. Blending avant-garde approaches to materials and form—defining Zambelli’s penchant for connections between humans, objects and spaces. Illuminated here, with the Flia, as a blend of strength, lightness, and flexibility.
Design and Features
The Flia Outdoor Lamp is a study in the art of simplicity. Available in singular or multiple stem configurations, Flia can be affixed to various surfaces—from floors and decks to the earth itself. This chameleon-like quality makes Flia a truly nomadic light source. Standing tall and lithe wherever it lands, like reeds on a riverbank thriving in all seasons.
Flia’s natural glow is rechargeable, too. Extending the reach of its rich, warm LEDs without messy cables. Making Flia a portable beacon for any setting. Whether it's setting the mood in a garden, adding allure to a deck, or bringing contemporary flair to an indoor space, Flia will blend right in without ever fading into the background.
8. Tokyo Pop Daybed

Tokyo Pop Daybed: A Sculptural Piece for Adventurous Spirits
Driade's Tokyo Pop daybed is so much more than furniture; it's a statement. Designed by the illustrious Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka, this armchair is a sculptural marvel that defies conventional design norms. Yoshioka isn't just any designer; he's a visionary whose works grace the halls of globally renowned museums like MoMA, Musèe National d'Art Moderne, and the Victoria and Albert.
Having already worked with the likes of Shiro Kuramata and Issey Miyake before founding his own studio in 2000, The Tokyo Pop Daybed was part of Yoshioka's grand entrance onto the international design stage in 2002. Some say it’s the crown jewel of the entire Tokyo Pop Collection, an exceptionally curious series that includes stools, tables, daybeds, sofas, and lounge chairs. Each is a rotationally-molded work of pop art for everyday living, but this daybed stands out for its graceful utility and thought provoking form.
Design and Features
When talking about contemporary furniture, the world sculptural gets overused. Not so with the Tokyo Pop Daybed, which is instantly recognisable and entirely unique. Inviting you to experience comfort in a new dimension that transcends the boundaries of industrial design and art.
When you recline on the Tokyo Pop Daybed, you're nestling into a philosophy that has captivated the world. Characterised by its distinctive, asymmetrical form that speaks to the fusion of nature and engineering. Made from a single piece of material, its organic contours are backed by a robust physique that ensures its sleek, seamless appearance supports daydreamers of every persuasion. Turning heads and sparking conversations in the process.
9. Tokyo Pop Small Table

Tokyo Pop Small Table: A Little Delight, Whatever the Occasion
The Tokyo Pop Small Table is a compact marvel that embodies the genius of its creator, Tokujin Yoshioka. Yoshioka's work often blurs the lines between design, architecture and art. Earning him global acclaim and ensuring when you invest in the Tokyo Pop Collection, you're inviting a slice of design history home.
Like the other pieces in the collection, the Tokyo Pop Small Table is a fresh and playful interpretation of outdoor furniture. A compact and versatile piece that can be used in various settings. Indoors, too.
Design and Features
What sets the Tokyo Pop Small Table apart from other pieces in the Tokyo Pop collection is its size and functionality. While the collection includes larger pieces like a sofa, an armchair and a daybed, the small table is unique. It can be used as a side table, a stool, or even a display stand, extending its purpose and practicality well beyond your next garden party or family gathering. Available in white, black anthracite, and titanium, this table can seamlessly blend into various contemporary spaces. Elegantly supporting your other pieces without ever stealing the limelight.
