Nest Rest
Cocooning at its best
Thanks to its cosy, protective, organic
structure, NEST REST transforms your
typical garden sofa into a small
architectural piece - one that offers you a
secluded, suspended sanctuary as it gently rocks
you and puts you at ease like a warm embrace. It’s
the perfect place for relaxation, meditation and
open-air conversations.
Created by Fred Frety & Daniel Pouzet, two long
time collaborators of DEDON design partner, Jean-
Marie Massaud, NEST REST was inspired by the
shapes, textures and colours found in nature, and
by the sophisticated design of certain bird nests.
It is constructed out of a new, specially created
DEDON Fiber, four centimetres wide, guaranteeing
a sturdy and solid weave that is open, breathable
and private, allowing those sheltered within to look
out, while preventing outsiders from seeing in.
Built around an aluminium frame, NEST REST is
much lighter than one might initially assume,
weighing only 100kg. Available in both natural and
chalk colours, it easily integrates with the
surrounding environment and may be hung from
trees or from other available supports by use of a
specialized system of ropes.
