Driade Novelties 2021 at Milano Design Week


Sangaku is a fun game of intersections, rotations and dimensional changes.
In Japanese culture, Sangaku are geometric problems engraved on wooden tablets, which in
most cases illustrate problems involving circles and ellipses inscribed one inside the other.
This gave rise to the idea of inscribing four different circles, two with a radius of 40 cm and two with
a radius of 20 cm, within an imaginary circle of 50 cm, creating a new element governed by invisible
but nevertheless perceptible geometric relationships. The points of intersection among the various
elements become the legs supporting the four different tops, which skillfully fill and differentiate the
space, creating a perfect mix of solids and voids.
The four colour tones – blue, green, yellow and black - and the colourful images impressed in the glass give Sangaku a contemporary language full of energy.
The small table is composed of four circular tops overlapping each other in the two diameters of 82
and 42 cm. The "geometrical" construction of the table is based on circles inscribed among them to obtain an overall size of 100x82 cm and a height of 41 cm.

Totoro is a seating and coffee tables collection with timeless shapes, cute silhouette and bold character. Called after the Japanese animation film “My Neighbor Totoro”, written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, the Totoro furniture collection has a friendly and soft silhouette that brings a cozy mood in the house.
The collection consists of a fully upholstered chair, armchair and three-seater sofa that offer a perfect combination of elegance, functionality, ergonomics and aesthetic appeal while meeting all the requirements for maximum comfort. The seats are characterized by soft, rounded shapes that emphasise the seat, backrest and legs whose generous diameter determines the distinctive appearance of the entire collection. The upholstery is fixed and can be chosen in leather or fabric.
Seat dimensions_Sofa: L154xP81xH90 - Armchair: L94xP81xH90 - Chair: L57 xP57xH78.
The collection is completed by a series of coffee tables in three different sizes, each with an unusual three-leg base. The distinctive features of these small tables are the soft, rounded shape of the MDF top with a shaped edge, and by the generous diameter of the turned solid wood legs.
The finish is a fine textured lacquer proposed in three pastel shades.
