What DEDON does

DEDON GmbH is a German-founded luxury woven outdoor furniture manufacturer, established in 1990 and headquartered in Lüneburg, Germany. The company's technological foundation is DEDON Fiber, a proprietary weatherproof synthetic fiber researched, developed, and manufactured in-house in Northern Germany, with 10-year UV resistance and resistance to chlorine, salt water, and sun exposure. Finished furniture is handwoven by approximately 260 master craftsmen at DEDON's wholly-owned 15,500 square meter zero-waste production facility on Cebu Island, Philippines (established 2000), and the company has since extended its material palette to include natural kapok and salak fibers and the recycled EcoCycle fiber line.

DEDON generates revenue through two primary channels. First, a direct-to-consumer channel sells handcrafted luxury outdoor furniture (dining chairs, tables, lounge chairs, daybeds, hanging loungers, beach chairs, side tables, and lighting/accessories) through the company's website and an authorized showroom/store-finder network spanning more than 80-100 countries. Second, a dedicated contract sales channel serves luxury hospitality, gastronomy, and wellness clients worldwide, with named installations at properties such as Burj Al Arab, Amangiri, Gritti Palace Venice, Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah, and Tswalu Tarkuni; bespoke planning, customization, and a Trade Membership program for design professionals support this channel.

The business is privately held and founder/management-controlled with no external private equity or venture capital indicated. Leadership consists of co-CEOs Bo Kristian Jensen and Vladimir Popov, with Patrick Troy serving as President and CEO of DEDON Americas. DEDON maintains an ongoing collaboration with world-renowned designers (Jean-Marie Massaud, Sebastian Herkner, Stephen Burks, Werner Aisslinger, Philippe Starck, Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby, among others) through an in-house R&D department, and has received multiple design awards in 2024-2026 including the LUXE RED Award, METROPOLIS Planet Positive Award, and IIDA/HD Expo Product Design Award.
