Mbrace dining table 90x200 cm AX2 teak

Mbrace – the dining table that gathers and stays

A good dining table does more than hold up the plates. It sets the tone for the entire meal – and for the conversations that linger long after the food is finished. The Mbrace dining table in teak from Dedon is that kind of table.

Designed by Sebastian Herkner as a natural part of the Mbrace collection, the table carries the same design philosophy as the rest of the series – considered, crafted and with a warm presence that is hard to ignore. Herkner's handwriting is visible in the proportions and in the respect for the material, and the table in solid premium-quality teak is clear evidence of that.

Teak is one of the most proven materials in outdoor furniture for good reason. It is dense, naturally oil-rich and handles the shifts of the Nordic climate without complaint. Over time it develops a silvery-grey patina that many choose to keep – a reminder that truly fine material does not age, it matures.

The Mbrace dining table pairs naturally with the armchairs and lounge furniture in the same collection, but is strong enough to stand alone in an outdoor setting with other pieces. It is a table that invites – to dinners that begin at sunset, to breakfast in the early morning light, to all the moments in between.

For those who want the table itself to be something worth remembering.

From the football pitch to the world's leading outdoor furniture brand: DEDON
You could say that the story of Dedon began in a hospital ward in Munich in 1990. It was here that Bobby Dekeyser, the promising young goalkeeper for Bayern Munich, was recovering from a serious blow to the face and decided to give up professional sports and pursue his true dream: ‘I just knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur.’pursue a career in professional sports and instead follow his true dream: ‘I just knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur, so I started Dedon right there in the hospital.’But the road to today was far from clear from Bobby's hospital bed. ‘We had no idea what we were going to sell,’ he admits. ‘The idea was simply to work together with family and friends in a pleasant environment and create beautiful things together.’

A unique DEDON fibre
Hand-woven outdoor furniture, raffia giraffes from Madagascar and an ingenious synthetic fibre – the early days of Dedon were a period of exploration, to say the least. Only the fibre, which Bobby had developed with his uncle Seppi, an expert in plastic extrusion, held any real promise. Smooth, attractive and weather-resistant, it was perfect for outdoor furniture, Bobby thought. But how could he convince the world of this?

Production in Cebu, Philippines
The answer came in 1991. At a trade fair in Cologne, Bobby discovered the perfectly woven rattan furniture of a Filipino entrepreneur from Cebu, Philippines. Six days later, with Dedon fibre slung over his shoulder, Bobby was on a plane to Cebu to meet his new friend. Shortly afterwards, he and his entire family moved to Cebu. When they finally returned home six months later, Dedon was an outdoor furniture company.
