The Nestrest suspended seats, designed by Daniel Pouzet and Stephen Burks for DEDON, introduced a new typology to contemporary outdoor design, inspired by the nests suspended among the trees of Costa Rica's forests. Made with four-centimeter-wide DEDON Fiber Touch, in the colors Natural, Chalk and Olive, Nestrest encloses a single large mattress cushion embellished with a series of smaller cushions, taking shape as a true suspended cocoon, an enveloping refuge designed to slow down and rediscover the pleasure of dilated time, made of observation and quiet.
From this iconic basket base came the Swingrest collection, which develops a wider, airier seat, visually less cumbersome, and integrates a refined suspension system along with a side table that rotates a hundred and eighty degrees. The more compact SwingMe and SwingUs variants preserve the elegance of the original forms on a more intimate scale, with optional curtains that turn the seat into a personal retreat: a more open, dynamic system compared to Nestrest, designed for swinging while immersed in the landscape.
Completing the family is the Kida Swing seat by Stephen Burks, which reinterprets the archetype of the swing by drawing on American vernacular tradition, becoming a bridge between craftsmanship and design vision. The structure, entirely wrapped in eight hundred and thirty-four meters of DEDON Fiber Touch, stems from a direct dialogue between the designer and the master weavers of Cebu Island in the Philippines, where the weaving technique is a tradition passed down from generation to generation. A single piece can require up to one thousand seven hundred yards of fiber and more than sixty hours of manual work, in a process that unites contemporary technology with traditional craftsmanship, capable of producing surfaces that range from light, airy weaves to denser, more compact structures, always in keeping with the balance between design, comfort and craftsmanship that distinguishes DEDON's research.
