DEDON MAGAZINE | IN SIDE OUT | EDITION SALONE DEL MOBILE 2019

RILLY by GamFratesi takes a fresh approach to DEDON’s outdoor heritage. In place of traditional weaving techniques, RILLY fea- tures parallel vertical strands of maritime rope or DEDON Fiber. The result is a collection of friendly forms with distinctive faceting and a contemporary graphic quality. A canopied double daybed, on preview at the Salone del Mobile, perfectly conveys the spirit of the whole collection. The RILLY double daybed is an island of subtle shading. Place it anywhere to enjoy the surroundings in a comfortable and shel- tered space. Aside from the voluminous fixed canopy, the first thing one notices about the double daybed is its grand size. With a mattress measuring 190 by 160cm, there’s room for friends and family to pile in. During the day, the canopy offers privacy and protection from the sun. At night, one can easily imagine sleeping here under starry skies. Exclusively for Salone del Mobile, DEDON previews the canopied double daybed from the new RILLY collection by GamFratesi. The daybed’s vertical weave of rope offers privacy and shade while creating a modern, graphic effect that characterizes the entire collection. The overall effect of RILLY is one of lightness combined with so- lidity. Rope and powder-coated aluminum come together in what the designers describe as “an architectural union of materials, in a definite and honest way.” RILLY is DEDON’s second collection by the celebrated Danish-Italian design duo of Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi. The double daybed would seem to have an extra significance for the pair, partners in life as well as work. According to Sonja van der Hagen, DEDON’s Chief Creative Officer, “GamFratesi have designed a collection that manages to be beauti- ful, inviting, intimate and comfortable by paying careful attention to detail and great creativity. Two core elements that are shared—and highly appreciated—by DEDON and DEDON customers.” RILLY DAYBED BY GAMFRATESI: AN ISLAND OF SUBTLE SHADING GamFratesi The faceting of the canopy and the graphic effect of the vertical weave.
