SUSPENDED IN AIR
German outdoor furniture company Dedon often tests its creations on Dedon Island, a Phillippine resort owned by the company’s founder. There, the resort’s architect and Dedon furniture designer Daniel Pouzet was inspired by the villas’ high ceilings to create Dedon’s Swingrest. With a basket-like bottom, rotating tabletop and long suspension cords, this comfortable perch swings from the highest tree. Available in a natural weave with an optional fabric cover that offers privacy and shade. dedon.de

FASHION FORWARD
Designer Ana Llobet created the ergonomic Textile seating collection for GANDIABLASCO by applying techniques used in textile manufacture to the process of furniture design: The joints of each chair are “sewn” together to mimic clothing seams. Made of recyclable polyethylene and powder-coated, galvanized iron. The braided rope that forms the “thread” is high-tenacity polyester. gandiablasco.com

FURNITURE AS ART
Designer James De Wulf fashions furniture out of concrete, creating sculptural pieces that complement any style. Pictured here, the Concrete Bar Cart on wheels is perfect for outdoor use. The top is made from ultra-thin concrete reinforced with carbon fiber. The glossy finish requires no maintenance; gravity joints lock the bottom shelf and top to the angled base. jamesdewulf.com

PERFECT PAVERS
