Dedon outdoor furniture is fantastic. It’s light, attractive, well-engineered and loves being outside in the harshest conditions. We have a setting on the terrace in Queenstown, New Zealand which has been through almost a decade of sun, rain and snow (literally). Still looks as if we bought it last week.
I have even drunk champagne sitting in a Dedon chair at the bottom of a swimming pool!
The desire for symmetry, for balance, for rhythm is one of the most inveterate of human instincts. Edith Wharton and Ogden Codman, Jr, The Decoration of Houses
The logo for my interior decoration business was inspired by our wonderful stone cottage, which was formerly a barn, in Queenstown, New Zealand. The cottage was beautifully decorated in antique oak and striking red leather furniture by my well-travelled and discerning grandmother, Lellie. This logo design perfectly encapsulates the spirit and essence of the cottage, which is known as The Loose Box, because it was where horses were stabled in “loose boxes” - timber stalls where they could move around freely. The person/horse is merrily swigging on a jaunty goblet which reflects the many celebrations and fantastic ski holidays have been raucously enjoyed by four generations. The wing-back chair exists, as do the foot stool and the lamp. Unfortunately, our dear old labrador, Otter, is chasing rubber bunnies in the sky! But that is exactly how he looked lying in front of the fire.
