Folding dining and lounge by Jean-Marie Massaud
Dedon Seax is the Dedon outdoor furniture collection that folds. Jean-Marie Massaud built it on a light aluminum frame that locks at the press of a button, then added a fabric seat, a back that swivels and armrests in marine plywood.
What the collection includes
About the collection
Massaud drew Seax as a folding family, and the mechanism carries the design. The aluminum frame is light enough to carry and sturdy once open. It locks into place, and you close it again with one press of a button. Stainless-steel details sit at the joints, so the chair looks finished from every side.
The back of the armchair and the lounge chair swivels, which lets it follow you as you lean back after dinner. The armrests are marine plywood with a teak finish, which puts warm wood under your forearms. Dedon offers versions with and without these plywood armrests.
You pick the frame color first. Dedon powder-coats it in Black Pepper or Lipari, a coating chosen to resist scuffs. The seat and back take a Sail fabric in taupe, shade or dove, and cushions come in the Dedon outdoor fabric families, from Natura and Tucson to Gaia, Muse, Nube and Borneo.
The dining tables share the same frame colors. Sizes run 100x100 and 140 cm for a smaller group, and 220x100 or 280x100 cm for a long table on the terrace. Add lounge chairs and footstools and you have one family for the table and the fire pit.

The designer
French designer Jean-Marie Massaud pairs comfort with elegance and heritage with the spirit of the moment. His other Dedon collections include Seashell and Sealine, and his work reaches into product design, store design and a football stadium.
"Design aims at taking part in a new consumption model based on being rather than having."

Some terraces host dinner on Saturday and yoga on Sunday morning. For those, an outdoor patio set that folds earns its place. Dedon Seax folds, and Dedon shows it next to Philippe Starck's Play chairs.
