Astori De Ponti Associati was set up in 2004 and focuses mainly on interior design. Its founder members are Antonia Astori De Ponti and Nicola De Ponti.

Antonia Astori was an Italian designer and co-founder of Driade, a company that redefined the idea of living spaces through a unique dialogue between art, design, and architecture. Her work went beyond furniture: she envisioned interiors as flexible systems, creating modular designs that could adapt to evolving lifestyles. Astori’s approach combined rigorous functional thinking with an elegant sense of proportion and harmony. She viewed design not only as the creation of objects, but as the orchestration of environments that could foster beauty, practicality, and cultural identity. Her legacy continues as a vision of design as a living, evolving system.

Nicola De Ponti is an Italian architect and designer based in Milan, known for his contemporary interpretation of form and material. Trained in both architecture and design, his work bridges disciplines, blending technical precision with an expressive, dynamic sensibility. His projects often explore lightness, versatility, and sustainability, showing a keen interest in how design can adapt to modern needs without losing emotional resonance. De Ponti sees design as a language—capable of innovation, storytelling, and cultural reflection—always balancing experimentation with clarity of purpose.
