Stephen Burks / Dedon
Philippine weaving methods inspired the American designer's Dala collection, a celebration of beautiful craftwork with a contemporary twist.
Craftspeople have woven Dedon, a synthetic resin fibre made from recycled food packaging and fully recyclable polyethylene, around an extruded aluminium structure. The form chosen by Burks for Dala (which means 'doing' in a dialect spoken in Senegal, where the designer worked in collaboration with local craftspeople) reinforces the reference to the Asian culture and the choice of green, blue and orange underscores their link with nature. All the pieces are light and easily carried thanks to a fabric handle.
