Elegant Daydream Outdoor Furniture from Dedon

While surfing today on internet I saw these inviting daydream outdoor furniture from the brand Dedon. Love this elegant design! I guess it will be a real eyecatcher on your terrace. I wrote earlier more blogs about Dedon, see HERE
DEDON, an inspiring company
Dedon is an international brand that creates high-end woven furniture using a sophisticated synthetic fiber, weather-resistant and aesthetically refined. They say ..... they always choose for quality. 

It began in 1990 when Bobby Dekeyser founded Dedon while starting with the creation of an innovative weatherproof synthetic fiber. The company set out to create a new kind of woven outdoor furniture, one that combined modern technology with luxurious hand-craftsmanship. A search for the world’s best weavers led Dedon to Cebu Island in the Philippines. While the early years were marked by trial and error, the uniqueness of the product, the artistry of the weaving and the company’s obsession with quality set Dedon apart from the beginning.

FROM A PIONEERING VISION TO A PIONEERING GLOBAL BRAND
Having revolutionized the outdoor furniture business, Dedon continues to set the standard for quality, artistry, innovation & design. Today, Dedon is represented in more than 80 countries on six continents.
