Name: Kida hanging lounger
Designer: Stephen Burks for Dedon 
Price: on request

When developing his latest design for Dedon, Stephen Burks sought to reinvent the swing. Burks was inspired by the company’s master weavers in the Philippines, and with their craft in mind, he developed a design that is embracing but doesn’t feel too enclosed. A colourful play on symmetry and geometry, the ‘Kida’ swing is an inviting piece of garden furniture that evokes relaxing summer evenings and calming lounging. Says Burks, ‘The magic of being in the factory and challenging everybody to find unfamiliar ways of doing things that give a fresh and uniquely Dedon feeling to the collection is always my mission.’
