he true beauty of DEDON—aside from its artisan, raw-
materials aesthetic—is how the global producer's
handcrafted outdoor furnishings and accessories are so
perfectly at home nearly everywhere. In the surf town of Sayulita,
Mexico, for example, DEDON deployed a dash of its decor to
show how some relaxing lounge seating, a few fashionable
planters and a contemporary floor lamp or two can chic up
a rustic beach abode or colonial-style casa with ease. For
DEDON, design is about the journey and the destination.
Since its founding in 1990, the global-inspired DEDON
has infused its designs—from hanging nest-like lounges to
complementary accessories—with a rich cultural spirit and
au courant applications of its original hand-woven fiber, a
material resistant to the elements, such as the sun, surf and
sea breeze that characterize Mexico's scenic Pacific Coast.
Here, the ever-trending Sayulita supports a vibrant scene that
bathes in outdoor exuberance, stylish boho insouciance and
authentically artisan vibes. The qualities of Sayulita make the
once quaint fishing village a dream detour for DEDON, which
for the last 20 years has based its manufacturing operations
in the Philippine Island of Cebu, producing collections from
world-class designers that are based on form, shape and
material with a clear architectural edge.
The brand's shot-in-Sayulita items are an apt example—
outdoor ornaments imbued with the elegant nonchalance of
the locale. Of these, the modern BELLMONDE lounge chair,
designed by Henrik Pederson, features a trim silhouette and
multicolored fiber weave; the MBRACE Wing chair is a lounger
with a triaxial open-weave seat by Sebastian Herkner; and DALA
seating, designed by Stephen Burks, is made with an ecological
fiber and powder-coated frame. Each design is particularly
luminous when paired with the modish LOON Floor Lamp,
another handsome Herkner design. Together the menagerie
makes for the ultimate al fresco composition. dedon.de
