Contemporary outdoor furniture by Dedon (Germany)

Dedon is a German furniture company specializing in outdoor furniture. It was founded in 1990 by Bobby Dekeyser, a Belgian textile engineer. Dekeyser was inspired by the traditional weaving techniques of the Philippines, where he had lived for several years. He began experimenting with new materials and techniques, and eventually developed a synthetic fibre that was both durable and weather-resistant.

In 1994, Dedon launched its first collection of outdoor furniture, which was an instant success. The company's furniture was praised for its innovative design and high quality. Dedon quickly became a leader in the outdoor furniture industry, and its products are now sold in over 80 countries around the world.

Dedon has collaborated with a number of world-renowned furniture designers over the years, including Jean-Marie Massaud, saud is a French designer who is known for his sleek and minimalist designs; Richard Frinier a Belgian designer who more... is known for his use of natural materials and organic shapes and Harry & Camila, a German design duo who are known for their playful and colourful designs. They have designed a number of outdoor furniture collections for Dedon, including the Babylon and Mbrace collections.
