Today Driade’s home accessories and decoration fall under the brand name Driade Kosmo. The collection ranges from inventive to everyday: striking items made with precious materials and attention to detail as well as everyday accessories that fill the home with warmth and atmosphere. At times sophisticated and meticulous and at others free-spirited and straightforward, design is the fulcrum of this small but important studio that creates distinctive items for the spaces we live in.
