DEDON – Outdoor Furniture: Innovative and Redefined

DEDON was founded in 1990 by Bobby Dekeyser with the idea of developing outdoor furniture that met the same standards of design, comfort, and quality as indoor furniture.

One of the key innovations that has defined DEDON from the beginning is the development of its own fiber, specifically designed for outdoor use. This weather-resistant, UV-stable synthetic fiber still forms the basis of the collections today and made it possible for the first time to use hand-woven furniture outdoors permanently.

Zero-Waste Production in Cebu

In parallel, the company made a crucial strategic decision early on: as early as 1994, Dedon began to have its furniture manufactured on the Philippine island of Cebu – a place renowned worldwide for its exceptional weaving tradition.

Since 2000, the entire production chain of hand-woven collections has taken place under the umbrella of DEDON in its zero-waste production facility in Cebu — from fiber production to weaving and delivery.

To this day, this forms the foundation of the brand and has made DEDON a pioneer in the field of high-quality outdoor furniture.

In the meantime, the portfolio has been expanded to include materials such as teak, ceramics, sling, and many more, creating an incredible variety of design possibilities for outdoor spaces.

Thus, the initially visionary approach developed into a leading international brand. Today, DEDON stands for the combination of technological innovation, artisanal craftsmanship, and a clear design philosophy.

Design and Outdoor as Living Space

In collaboration with international designers such as Jean-Marie Massaud and Philippe Starck, furniture is created that conceives the outdoor area as a full-fledged living space. Transitions between inside and outside are deliberately blurred, with comfort and design taking center stage.

Both at RUBY Design Living and Herrendorf, we seasonally showcase selected pieces from DEDON. At RUBY Design Living, you can discover, among other things, the extraordinary Nestrest Lounge as well as the Dedon Mbrace Wing Chair designed by Sebastian Herkner.

Herrendorf currently presents the Bellmonde Armchair.

We would also be happy to advise you on all other DEDON collections for your individually designed outdoor area.
