The Obelisk collection by Dedon is a piece I’m in love with for nostalgic reasons. When I was a kid, my parents took me to many different seaside resorts in Mexico and in Europe. I would spend my days swimming, playing games, eating, and sitting in a woven chair very similar to the Obelisk. All the resorts had them. They were these big, comfortable chairs that were fairly light, and they let the breeze warm my body while I lounged. I always wondered what company produced those chairs, and now I know that it was Dedon… or maybe a cheap imitation (I was a kid after all. I wasn’t looking for quality).

I must admit, the pictures that I’ve included don’t exude warm breezes and lounging at the beach. In fact, it maybe more resembles some sort of medieval torture device. So, definitely check out the website and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
