DEDON’s PLAY outdoor sidechair and armchair are now available in four new nature-inspired colors! The updated palette has been specifically curated for the North and South American hospitality market, with Alpine, Aqua, Bluestone, and Cascade inspired by the warm and cool hues found in the great outdoors. As the world’s first chair to combine an injection-molded frame with a hand-woven finish, PLAY continues to offer a fresh perspective on timeless design, combining form and function in new and exciting ways.
The PLAY collection by Philippe Starck for DEDON has been a beloved classic for 12 years, seamlessly blending modern technology with age-old craftsmanship. As the world’s first chair to feature an injection-molded frame combined with a hand-woven finish, PLAY stands as a timeless testament to design innovation. Renowned for its iconic form, this collection boasts exceptional durability with materials and construction crafted to last. Lightweight yet sturdy, stackable, and now reinterpreted in new playful colorways, PLAY chairs are available with or without armrests, inviting versatility into any setting.
Philippe Starck’s vision for the PLAY collection marries two contrasting yet complementary design philosophies. The high-tech precision of an injection-molded polypropylene frame is artfully paired with the unique style of seats and backrests handcrafted by DEDON’s skilled artisans. This juxtaposition echoes Starck’s inspiration to create a piece that harmonizes cutting-edge technology with the timeless beauty of craftsmanship.
After 12 years as a staple in the DEDON range, the PLAY armchairs and side chairs are being reimagined in new colors, bringing a fresh perspective to their stackable design. The collection’s frame is crafted from injection-molded polypropylene and fiberglass, while the seat and back are intricately handwoven from DEDON Fiber, marrying high design with everyday practicality. Ideal for hospitality projects, PLAY chairs are celebrated for their all-weather endurance and easy maintenance — simply clean with a soft cloth and warm water.
“PLAY is an idea that allows plenty of room for human interaction,” reflects Philippe Starck on his enduring design. “It is a celebration of creativity, the freedom of collaboration, and the ease of existence — qualities that are increasingly cherished in our fast-paced world. With this new palette, PLAY continues to invite people to experience the joy of design that is both playful and profound.”
