Dedon – CIRQL NU armchair with central base

Created using DEDON’s groundbreaking invert fiber, CIRQL NU signifies the next evolution of the collection and the brand’s DNA. Werner Aisslinger's latest collection is made using co-extrusion, a process that combines two distinct fiber colors and types into one strand. The result: stunning colorways, diverse textures and geometric patterns with a special 3D-effect, creating an almost iridescent sheen depending on the viewing angle.
