The 'Kida' Armchair is Distinctly Designed Yet Functional
Michael Hemsworth — March 19, 2024 — Art & Design
The 'Kida' armchair has been designed by Stephen Burks for Dedon as a midcentury modern furniture piece that prioritizes a sense of style without losing sight of comfort and functionality.
The chair is built on a midcentury sled base, which supports the upper framework that has been wrapped in fibers to enhance comfort and style. The result is a cocoon-shaped seat perfect for use at a dining table, while the durable form supports being used as outdoor furniture, if desired. The chair comes in three color options to choose from.
Burks commented on the 'Kida' armchair saying, "Kida is all about innovation and expressiveness. The use of wrapped Dedon fiber helps in providing color, character, attractiveness, and distinctive look to the armchair.”
