The collection features several Nordic-inspired pieces that includes a [lounge chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-series), a wingback chair and a rocking chair that are all characterized by their enveloping design. This is further accentuated with warm materials, soft cushioning and more that work to make the pieces comfortable enough for all-day lounging in outdoor spaces. The Dedon 'Mbrace' Collection is all achieved using wood or steel components along with the [handwoven upper section](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-tradition) that takes long periods to achieve, and will deliver many seasons of use in outdoor environments.
