( about this product )
The Kroma dining table by Antonia Astori for Driade, designed around 1980, stands as a precise yet expressive example of Italian postmodern design, where architectural thinking is distilled into furniture; part of the broader Kroma series, the table is defined by its clear geometric composition, typically featuring a round or rectangular top in laminate paired with a boldly constructed base that plays with color blocking and structural rhythm, creating a visual dialogue between surface and support, lightness and solidity, reflecting Astori’s vision of furniture as an extension of spatial design and capturing the experimental yet controlled spirit that shaped the Italian design landscape at the turn of the 1980s.

( 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.
