Stephen Burks frequently explores the role of handwork in his innovative and award- winning designs. He has collaborated with artisans and craftspeople around the globe. He believes in a pluralistic vision of design that is inclusive of all cultural per- spectives. His ongoing Stephen Burks Man Made project bridges the gap between authentic developing world production, industrial manufacturing, and contemporary design. Stephen's work has been exhibited internationally, including museum shows in New York, Atlanta and Chicago.
With KIDA, Stephen Burks has conceived a collection as delightful to behold as to experience. DEDON's first collection wrapped — rather than woven — in DEDON Fiber, KIDA features a cradle-like organic form that's open, airy, and inviting. Continuing the success story of the KIDA hanging lounge chair, the new KIDA armchair elevates the collection to new heights. Unveiled in three striped colorways, the 2024 additions pair harmoniously with existing KIDA hues. Perfectly suited to an array of ambiences, from coastal villas to woodland retreats, KIDA evokes an irresistible lightness and generous flair that invites users alone or in company to savor the moment.
With its organically shaped frame of powder-coated aluminum, KIDA is lightweight yet exceptionally sturdy. Wrapped in innovative DEDON Fiber ‘touch‛, which has an especially soft tactile quality, the collection comes in three striped color ways, includ- ing the vibrant, multi-colored ‘glow touch‛. KIDA features a plush seat cushion and a fixed head cushion that's perfectly positioned for laying back and lounging.
