In search for new forms, German maker Dedon found inspiration in ancient Chinese philosophy. Yin Yang is the representation of harmony between two opposing elements; and such is the notion behind the matching sculptural chairs of the Signature Collection. Rich curves and elegant contrast are the charming qualities of this seating arrangement. United or stand-alone, the twin chairs exhibit their superior style and sleek hand-woven surfaces. The art pieces are created by a remarkable 4,000 meters of fiber, a true challenge even for the more charismatic of Dedon craftsmen. The platinum and bronze colors evoke luxurious earth colors and lure the passerby to a session of harmonious relaxation. The idea was apparently conceived on a sandy beach at the Philippine island of Cebu; I guess luxury and harmony merged by the seaside, and that is definitely were I would prefer to get my set of Yin Yangs.  The idea came to designer Nicolas Thomkins on the Island of Cebu’s beach of Olango. He sketched out the first draft of the design in the sand with a stick: a piece of furniture made up of two elements that appear as if they were formed by nature like stones worn down by water or sand dunes shaped by the wind.
