MBRACE Rocking chair

Sebastian Herkner’s award-winning MBRACE collection is beloved for its
modern material mix. Combining teak, woven fiber and an optional die-cast
aluminum base, MBRACE is more distinct and richer than ever before. The
aluminum base—available for wingchairs, armchairs, lounge chairs and
matching footstools—expands the collection’s visual language while extending
its possibilities.
Herkner’s starting point for this award-winning collection was the material
mix of multi-colored fiber, warm teak and smooth aluminum. “I wanted to
use the traditional technique of the weaving,” he explains, “to create a strong
design that was like a gesture—the gesture of embracing someone.” In addition,
Herkner was interested in creating outdoor furniture that would be
comfortable even off-season, without the cushions.
Working with world-renowned colorist Giulio Ridolfo, Herkner and DEDON
have developed unique colorways for the collection. All chairs feature optional
cushion sets and wide backrests that envelope users in cozy comfort. Made
of solid premium teak, MBRACE dining tables are characterized by their
surfboard-like shape and narrow width that facilitates togetherness.
