Dedon Special Edition D.D.C. – Dedon DREss CODE
Dedon furniture is designed by international designers, produced based on German standards of quality, and is manufactured by hand in a traditional fashion by braiding artisans on the island of Cebu in the Philippines. In this way, every piece of furniture embodies the combination of modern technology and century-old craftsmanship. One of the most famous patterns of all time is the incomparable tartan pattern. The EDINBURGH collection retraces its history: starting in Scottish highland culture, visiting the traditional atmosphere of British clubs, stopping in the infamous Punk era of “The Sex Pistols” and ending with contemporary fashion designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Ralph Lauren. In the case of Dedon, every classic should transcend its own boundaries every once in a while!
The CAMBON collection invites you back to famous fashion districts of Paris, home of ground-breaking fashion innovations such as the “New Look”. Many sophisticated women where inspired by the classic pied de poule pattern, strolling down Parisian avenues in Audrey Hepburn-style. Dedon offers a break from daily life as you know it and invites you to escape into a new world: a place of comfort and relaxation!
The MARSEILLE collection takes us on a trip through fashion history, starting at the time of the Golden Twenties in Europe, visiting mundane summer flings at the French Riviera like Pablo Picasso in the 1960s and travelling quickly back to the present time of Jean-Paul Gaultier’s subversive sailor chic: sailor style has been en vogue many times! Although our Dedon furniture is considered a “classic” too by now, it also never goes out of fashion!
With the OSLO collection, the classical knitted “Norwegian style” gets a new look: The collection bringing the rough and untamed wilderness of the Scandinavian landscape into the big cities of our times. Outdoor spaces are not just gardens, beaches and terraces; Outdoor has a multitude of facets - just like Dedon. We never do the expected!"
