MBRACE, the new outdoor furniture collection by designer Sebastian Herkner for German manufacturer DEDON, takes a joyfully unconventional approach to poolside furniture.
Conceived by one of Europe’s most talked-about young design talents, Sebastian Herkner of Germany, MBRACE fully lives up to the welcoming gesture invoked by its name. One experiences a warm, secure, cocooning feeling when being embraced by the chair’s extra-wide back, especially after a cool dip in the pool. Herkner designed the seat to be invitingly comfortable even late in the season, after MBRACE’s luxurious seat cushions have been stored away.
One of the collection’s most distinctive features is an open, mesh-like triaxial weave consisting of three different fibers, each with its own profile and color. Working in close collaboration with world-renowned colorist Giulio Ridolfo, Herkner and DEDON developed three unique colorways for the collection — Spice, Pepper and Atlantic. With their resonances of travel, trade and adventure, the colorways perfectly support Herkner’s aim of addressing the wide, international audience of DEDON, including “young and sophisticated explorers”.
From beautiful Capitone to comfortable weaving, MBRACE comes with optional cushion sets for every taste. By bringing solid teak and DEDON fiber together, expressing subtle but joyful new colorways and — let’s not forget! — bringing rocking chairs to the poolside, this captivating collection opens new possibilities for creating the outdoor living room of your dreams. Get embraced!
