Dedon Lou Sofa design by Toan Nguyen. The LOU lounge system by Toan Nguyen represents both a return to DEDON’s roots and major step forward. Nguyen, a master of modular design, has created a collection so casual, friendly and inviting that one almost fails to notice the architectonic rigor that underlies it. Combining traditional DEDON craftsmanship with innovations in cushions, weave and material mix, LOU takes outdoor lounging to a whole new level.
Created from three different profiles of DEDON Fiber in three different shades of gray, LOU’s seemingly random, semi-open weaving pattern has the the look of a light woven textile. When combined with the wide range of material finishes of the LOU tables and accessories, this textile effect helps users to create sophisticated ‘total’ atmospheres.With its wide range of modules, LOU can be configured for any outdoor setting, no matter how large. A curved module — DEDON’s very first — brings a special twist to the otherwise rectilinear design, allowing for bent, snaking or semi-circular arrangements. aWhen viewed from behind, the curved modules create a landscape-like effect, the curved backsides conveying a protective sense of enclosure. DEDON and Nguyen researched heavily into foam materials in order to develop LOU’s easy-care, weather-resistant, reversible cushions.
In addition to the modules themselves, LOU includes teak arm trays (which can replace or be combined with arm cushions), rich ceramic tabletops for the footstool modules, a coffee table with solid teak slats for the top, and a powder-coated stainless steel side table thats slides under and overlaps the modules. When all of these elements come together, the results is an outdoor modular system like none before it.
