Mbrace – the footstool that makes the pause complete

There is a pleasure in stretching your legs after a long day. The Mbrace footstool in synthetic rattan and teak from Dedon is created for exactly that moment.

Designed by Sebastian Herkner as part of the multi award-winning Mbrace collection, the footstool carries the same attention to detail and choice of materials as the rest of the series. The combination of Dedon's hand-woven synthetic rattan and warm teak gives it an organic, natural expression that suits a sunny terrace just as well as a more secluded garden corner.

The triaxial weave pattern in the synthetic rattan is not just beautiful – it is a craft. Every detail is considered, and the material is designed to retain its shape and character season after season. The teak frame adds that natural warmth and weight that anchors the footstool in the outdoor environment in a way that feels genuine rather than contrived.

Use it together with the armchair or lounge chair in the Mbrace collection for a cohesive and harmonious outdoor setting – or let it stand as a freestanding detail that adds something extra. However it is used, it serves as a reminder that even the small pauses deserve to be truly good.

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.
