Outdoor spaces have become defining elements of hospitality design. From rooftop lounges to beachfront retreats, they’re shaping the guest journey as much as any lobby or suite.
HD asked luxury outdoor furniture company DEDON to share tips to make outdoor spaces sing. With bold new colors, uncompromising craftsmanship, and a commitment to sustainable innovation, DEDON elevates the way the world lives outdoors and inspires hospitality designers to imagine what’s possible under open skies.

Bold color, lasting impact
Color emerges as the most powerful design tool in outdoor environments. No longer confined to neutral tones, hospitality spaces are embracing vibrant tones to convey mood, texture, identity, and the spirit of outdoor living. DEDON pioneered this movement, introducing collections in vivid, nature-complementing palettes ranging from warm to cool to completely unexpected hues that inspire connection and elevate guest experiences way beyond expectation.
Craftsmanship ensures longevity
Tapping highly skilled artisans provides peace of mind to hospitality designers, their clients and properties, and, ultimately, the guests who will enjoy these special spaces for years to come.
Behind every DEDON design lies decades of expertise. Each piece of furniture is woven by master artisans in Cebu, Philippines using DEDON Fiber—a proprietary material developed by the brand. Resistant to sun, salt water, and chlorine, this highly researched and tested material sets the global benchmark for outdoor performance.
For contract designers, that translates to fewer replacements, consistent quality across projects, and long-lasting design integrity.

Sustainability as the standard
Sustainability is finally an expectation (rather than an exception) in hospitality projects. Most clients now demand transparency and require eco-friendly materials and production when outfitting their spaces. DEDON meets this challenge head on with innovations like EcoCycle Fiber, a material 90 percent derived from plant-based resources that provides the same luxurious look and performance as traditional fiber without relying on fossil fuels. Combined with zero-waste weaving facilities, it reflects DEDON’s commitment to responsible design and alignment with hotel brands’ ESG (environmental, social, and governance) goals.
