MBRACE wing chair

MBRACE takes a joyfully unconventional approach to outdoor furniture, bringing DEDON Fiber seating and a solid teak base together for the very first time. The result is an eye-catching, instantly likable collection of chairs — wingback, lounger, rocker and optional footstool — that captures the spirit of barefoot luxury while extending the DEDON design language into new, more Nordic territory.

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!

Named Carrara and Marrone, the new color ways, are woven using an innovative and exclusive combination of DEDON fiber and hand-made maritime rope from Italy. The result is a rich mix of texture and color that lends depth to the weave, enhancing both look and feel. “It allures me to work with material combinations,” says Herkner, one of Europe’s most celebrated young design talents. “The interplay of fiber and rope offers a completely new appearance to the existing MBRACE chairs.”

Carrara and Marrone join MBRACE’s three original color ways — Pepper, Spice and Atlantic, developed in collaboration with internationally re- nowned colorist Giulio Ridolfo — to offer a wide and sophisticated range of color choices, suitable to any outdoor setting. All five color ways are available on the entire current collection, which consists of wing chair, lounge chair, rocker and footstool.
