Dezeen Showroom: Stephen Burks has designed Dala, a collection of outdoor seating for Dedon that is informed by travel and woven using traditional Filipino craft techniques.
The Dala family includes lounge chairs, club chairs and sofas, with a frame made from powder-coated aluminium mesh.
This is interlaced with fabric strips made from a durable, synthetic fibre, using an artisanal weaving technique that is native to the Cebu Islands of the Philippines.
The woven Dala chairs have plush cushions
The proprietary material, called Fibre Touch, is weather-resistant and available in five colourways within the Dala collection.
Each colourway is named after a specific location ? from Rioja and Cuba to Ubud and Ibiza ? and was designed in collaboration with Italian "colour master" Giulio Ridolfo as a visual reflection of that destination. Its colours are informed by places around the world
Lightweight and portable, the seating is designed for flexible outdoor placement and comes with plush, UV-resistant cushions in a selection of Dedon's own textiles.
"Pieces sit directly on the ground and are easily moved around the patio or carried down the steps to the beach," Burks explained.
The furniture is designed to be flexibly rearranged
The Dala collection also includes a series of side and coffee tables, as well as planters and lanterns, all of which are woven in the same design as the seating.
