CITY GUIDE //
Founded in 1976 by Nicola Fabrizio, Dedar is an acronym formed from Design
D’Arredamento and has been passing through years as a family passion. It started with
just 12 people and today, 15 years later, it’s an International team of 100 people and in
constant expansion. Dedar operates directly in Italy, France, Russia, Germany, UK, US
and Dubai and, across a select network of distributors, retailers and agents, it serves 70
other Countries. Dedar Collection is composed of over 300 articles and 3000 colourways.
Free-roaming inspiration, elegance, a force of expression, the desire to experiment,
a passion for precious qualities and extensive colour ranges constitute the essence
of Dedar’s creative spirit. Creation is a process of development that demands time to
allow for experimentation and errors, so that the resulting product may become a future
classic. The Dedar headquarters is located close to Como, in the heart of a manufacturing
district that has specialised for centuries in the production of precious fabrics, particularly
silks. Such a location offers the possibility to experiment, innovate and attain product
perfection through an ongoing dialogue with those craftsmen and textile specialists
who are most familiar with the techniques employed in the production of excellent
fabrics. Fabrics of the Dedar Collection, as well as special fabrics, have been created in
collaboration with interior designers to adorn such prestigious venues as the hotel Costes
in Paris, the Skygardens in Dubai and the Robuchon in Las Vegas.
