( about this product )
The Kroma console by Antonia Astori for Driade, designed around 1980, translates the architectural rigor of the Kroma series into a more linear, wall-oriented form, where geometry becomes both structure and visual statement; defined by its slim horizontal top and striking vertical supports, often articulated through contrasting laminates and crisp color blocking, the console creates a rhythmic interplay of planes that feels almost like a fragment of interior architecture, balancing precision with a subtle graphic boldness, and embodying Astori’s vision of furniture as spatial composition within the experimental yet controlled landscape of Italian postmodern design.

( about ) the designer
Antonia Astori
Antonia Astori is an Italian architect and designer whose work navigates the boundary between architecture and furniture with a refined, intellectual clarity; active from the late 1960s onward, she became closely associated with the Italian radical design movement through her collaborations with brands like Driade, where she explored the idea of furniture as spatial structure rather than mere object, creating pieces defined by rigorous geometry, chromatic contrast, and an almost architectural sense of composition, her designs often balancing functional precision with a quietly expressive, postmodern sensibility that reflects both discipline and experimentation within the evolving landscape of contemporary design.
