Cane Time: Rilly By Dedon

A versatile collection of dining, lounging and poolside elements, Rilly by GamFratesi takes a fresh approach to Dedon’s outdoor heritage. In place of traditional weaving technique, it features parallel vertical strands of maritime rope or new Dedon Fiber ‛Touch’.

The result is a “transparent” collection of friendly forms with distinctive faceting and a contemporary, graphic quality. From lounge chairs to sofas to a sprawling double daybed with canopy, the full Rilly range lets users create unique landscapes in any outdoor setting.

With Rilly, GamFratesi were inspired to create a light, transparent and versatile collection while at the same time maintaining the solidity of the structure. The designers realized their vision through what they describe as “an architectural union of materials in a definite and honest way”. The resulting system allows for “a very large collection where different seats and backrests adapt to the main structure.” Playing with shapes, GamFratesi developed optional cocooning canopies that further contribute to Rilly’s diversity and versatility. The collection’s graphic vertical weave creates a vivid sense of transparency and dematerialization.

Friendly forms, flowing lines, facetted canopies and the absence of right angles give Rilly a playful, welcoming character.
