Dedo is a lounge chair you notice from across the room. Its solid wood frame is shaped with rounded, flowing joints and left completely uncovered, giving the chair a sculptural presence whether someone is sitting in it or not.
When the frame was first finished during development, it stood on its own as an object. Traditional upholstery would have hidden it. Instead, woven ropes were strung across the frame, creating a suspended, slightly flexible base that supports loose cushions while keeping every curve and joint visible. The contrast between taut rope and soft pillow is deliberate: it gives Dedo its visual tension and makes the structure part of the experience rather than something to cover up.
The frame is solid European oak or walnut, with the fluid transitions between components shaped by hand using a router. The cushions are loose and removable, filled for a relaxed, sinking comfort. They come in a range of fabrics and leathers from the Gazzda material collection.
Dedo was designed by Salih Teskeredžić in 2015 as Gazzda’s first lounge chair. The name means “grandfather” in Bosnian, after a memory of sitting and watching the world go by. It is a chair made for exactly that.
