The Others lanterns by Stephen Burks for Dedon

Dezeen Showroom: American designer Stephen Burks has designed a collection of hand-woven outdoor lights for Dedon that can be used individually or arranged in totem-like stacks.

Called The Others, the collection comprises 12 lanterns of different sizes, which either stand on a milled marble base or are hung like pendants.

The Others lanterns come in a variety of different shapes

According to Dedon, the lanters were designed to "take on the appearance of illuminated characters" and can be adorned with eye-shaped acrylic appliques to enhance their anthropomorphic qualities.

"We wanted to make them a kind of family, so they're similarly woven but each unique," said Burks.

Dedon's collection is available with a milled marble base and acrylic eyes

The lamps are hand-woven in the Philippines and provide warm, atmospheric lighting that is dimmable via remote control.

"A collection at once functional and fun, The Others bring colour, diversity, illumination and companionship to any outdoor setting," Dedon added.

Dala outdoor seating by Stephen Burks for Dedon

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.

KIDA hanging lounge chair by Stephen Burks for Dedon

Dezeen Showroom: American designer Stephen Burks has created a hanging lounge chair wrapped in colourful, weather-resistant rope for outdoor furniture brand Dedon.

Called KIDA, the outdoor chair consists of a lightweight but sturdy frame made of aluminium rods, which are curved to create a nest-like swinging structure.

KIDA is a swinging chair

Each of these rods is wrapped in cords of a synthetic, weather-resistant material named Fibre Touch, which Dedon says is recyclable and non-toxic.

Featured on KIDA in three striped colourways, the fibre maintains a soft, tactile quality while being durable enough to withstand the elements.

The outdoor seat is wrapped in a weather-resistant fibre

Fitted into the chair's cradle-like frame is a plush removable cushion that comes in a variety of colours.

According to Burks, KIDA was informed by a desire to reinvent the traditional hanging chair. His design is less enclosed due to its skeletal structure, allowing users to feel "as free as the breeze".

The chair comes with an integrated cushion

Dedon is renowned for its woven outdoor furniture, which is made using traditional Filipino craft techniques. The KIDA lounge chair is the company's first product to be wrapped rather than woven in its trademark fibre.

"The wrapping emphasises the geometry of the structure," Burks explained.
