L’Adelaide byEmilio Tremolada. Documentay, Italy, 2018, 47’29’’
Driade design house was founded in 1968 by Enrico Astori, his sister Antonia and his wife Adelaide Acerbi. Adelaide died in 2009. In 2013, the Astori family sold the company to ItalianCreationGroup, which is still producing and distributing the brand’s collections. This documentary honors Adelaide’s creativity: she was completely in charge of communications, responsible for the company’s graphic design, as well as art director of the catalogues and house organs and organiser of the unforgettable parties in the company’s historic showroom in via Manzoni, Milan. However, the documentary is also a story of Driade, since the two are intimately connected. Through many interviews, this documentary chronicles the genesis of some of the iconic projects and successes that defined the studio’s history.
