They claim it to be the finest outdoor furniture but I doubt as it doesn’t seem less than an installed masterpiece than why would one take the risk of placing it outdoor. Resembling sculptural chairs, the sharp clean lines of the Yin Yang outdoor furniture by Dedon is carved by using flat wicker surface.
What adds to the elegance of this extensive contemporary lounge chair is its curvy body. While an interesting design could be formed when the twin chairs shell together inviting lengthy chats.
Like a Yin Yang symbol, the plush circular cushions make the contrasting eye in each chair. Its durability and high-quality is assured as a sturdy synthetic fibre has been used to make it bold enough to face wind, rain and heat. The USP of the chair remains its availability in light platinum and a dark bronze hues complementing the sculptural form.
