Verge x
At the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show, Verge Yacht Design teamed up with world-renowned outdoor furniture brand Dedon to create an unforgettable experience for guests and design enthusiasts alike. The collaboration resulted in The Signature Terrace — a serene, beautifully curated open-air lounge that perfectly embodied the synergy between high-end yacht interiors and elevated outdoor living.
Hosted by Northrop & Johnson, the Signature Terrace was more than just a hospitality space — it was a statement of what’s possible when thoughtful design meets purpose-driven partnership. Overlooking Port Hercule, the terrace welcomed VIP guests into a space that felt like an extension of a superyacht’s most luxurious deck: calm, elegant, and designed with intention.
Verge’s approach to the terrace was rooted in its core design philosophy — creating spaces that are both refined and functional, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and comfort. Dedon brought its signature collections into the mix, offering pieces like plush modular sofas, teak accents, and the eye-catching KIDA hanging lounge chair. Known for pioneering high-end woven outdoor furniture, Dedon’s weatherproof materials and sculptural forms offered a seamless blend of form and function — and a perfect complement to Verge’s layout.
Every detail of the terrace spoke to a carefully balanced vision. The color palette echoed the sea and sky, while the flow of the space encouraged relaxation, conversation, and connection. Guests enjoyed sweeping views of the harbor while reclining in pieces that offered the same level of comfort found in a yacht’s interior salon — but outdoors.
This wasn’t just a place to sit; it was an experience. It demonstrated how a deck or terrace, when thoughtfully designed, becomes a destination of its own. That’s at the heart of both Verge and Dedon’s missions: creating environments that enhance lifestyle and elevate every moment on board or on shore.
For Verge, this collaboration was a natural fit. Known for its sustainable, client-centered yacht design work, Verge is constantly exploring how to push boundaries and bring new ideas into the marine space. Partnering with Dedon allowed the team to highlight its ability to create continuity between interior and exterior environments — something increasingly valued by modern yacht owners.
The Signature Terrace quickly became a favorite among Monaco show attendees. Media outlets and influencers alike shared images and praise, noting how it raised the bar for what on-shore hospitality at a yacht show could be. And most importantly, guests returned again and again, drawn by the space’s calm energy, stylish design, and impeccable comfort.
The Verge x Dedon collaboration wasn’t just about showcasing beautiful furniture or a clever layout — it was about redefining what luxury looks and feels like in the world of yachting. It proved that the best design happens when comfort, style, and innovation meet — and when brands with shared values come together to create something truly special.
