Dedon · Organic DEDON Fiber on stainless feet

Paros.

Jean-Marie Massaud's Paros reads as classic Dedon recast for a slower-paced terrace. The low horizontal volume sits on slim stainless-steel circular feet, which raise the silhouette just enough off the ground to read as architecture rather than upholstery. A new organic-strand DEDON Fiber, almost vine-like in feel, is woven in a single matte-brown Silt colorway developed for the collection. The modular logic is straightforward: a 2-seater, a 3-seater, two corner modules and a beach chair drop into terrace, deck or lawn settings with the same proportional language.

Structural elements (aluminum, FSC teak, steel) typically carry 5-10 year warranties; fabrics and cushions 2-3 years against UV and stitching.

Aftercare

How to care for Paros.

A five-step protocol drawn from DEDON's care manual, adapted for American climate ranges.

  1. Rinse the organic fiber monthly

    A soft hose stream is sufficient. The organic-strand fiber developed for Paros is UV-stable and naturally chloride-tolerant; monthly rinsing prevents pollen and dust from settling between the vine-like strands.

  2. Wipe the stainless feet weekly

    Stainless steel circular feet take a microfiber cloth with a drop of stainless polish to maintain the mirror finish. Avoid abrasive sponges, which scratch the surface and dull the reflectivity.

  3. Sponge clean visible marks

    Lukewarm water and a pH-neutral soap on a soft cellulose sponge handle wine, sunscreen and food spills. The Silt colorway is forgiving but darkens slightly with prolonged moisture.

  4. Cushion off-season storage

    Sunbrella covers are removable and machine-washable cold; store flat in a dry location. The stainless feet, aluminum frame and organic DEDON Fiber can be left outdoors year-round in zones 8 and above.

  5. Re-tension hardware annually

    Modules join via hidden connectors that loosen with thermal cycling. A 5mm hex key handles tightening; the supplied service kit covers all visible and concealed connection points.

Paros · FAQ

Specifying Paros.

What is the new organic DEDON Fiber?

A new strand developed specifically for Paros, less geometric and more vine-like in feel than the original synthetic-rattan fiber. It is woven by hand at the Cebu workshop in a single matte-brown Silt colorway.

Is the Silt colorway the only option?

Yes, as standard. Bespoke colorways are available with 14–18 weeks lead-time and a 6-piece minimum. Sunbrella cushion covers ship in twelve standard colorways and accept COM.

Can Paros sit directly on grass or sand?

Yes. The circular stainless feet are designed for terrace, deck, lawn and beach use; the load is distributed across the foot disc and does not require a paved surface. See the Dedon archive →

Lead-time to the United States?

Stock Silt: 12–16 weeks. Bespoke colorways: 16–20 weeks. Hospitality projects above 30 pieces are scheduled into dedicated production windows by the Boston distribution office.
