There’s nothing worse than finally getting some warm weather – only to realize you’ve procrastinated on carving out a proper outdoor hangout. Sure, a beach towel on the grass works in a pinch, but why settle for less when you can bask in bold style and breezy comfort? Dusen Dusen makes indoor/outdoor living effortless with its latest collaboration with Fatboy. The six-piece Fatboy x Dusen Dusen collection transforms your space into a print-filled oasis that might upstage your garden – but at least you’ll be lounging in style.
Currently taking center stage at the Dusen Dusen pop-up at the MoMA Design Store, the collection is part of a celebration marking the brand’s 15th anniversary. Designer and founder Ellen Van Dusen has long been known for her fearless use of color and pattern, and MoMA has been a proud supporter of her work over the years. “Ellen’s bold, joyful aesthetic perfectly embodies the spirit of Good Design,” shares Emmanuel Plat, Director of Merchandising at MoMA Retail. “Her deep understanding of color theory and contrast creates a design language that is both striking and functional, making everyday objects more engaging and dynamic.”
The Fatboy x Dusen Dusen collection includes the modular Paletti Sofa, Headdemock Hammock, Point Outdoor Pouf, Original Slim Beanbag, King Pillow, and Miasun Beach Tent. Each piece is crafted from durable, outdoor-grade fabric, so they can handle a little sunshine (or surprise rainstorm) and are easy to care for. Designed to blur the lines between indoors and out, the collection makes a strong case for lounging anytime, anywhere.
The MoMA pop-up also features an expanded range of beloved Dusen Dusen home goods and accessories (plus brand new arrivals that bring a patterned punch to everyday spaces, like the Everybody Salt & Pepper Grinder and Timer for your kitchen or the Pedal Waste Bin for your bathroom. A little bit of pattern, a whole lot of impact.
And while we can’t promise perfect weather wherever you are, we can say that when the sun does show up, the Fatboy x Dusen Dusen collection will have you soaking it up in technicolor style. As Ellen Van Dusen puts it, “Getting to collaborate with Fatboy – a brand I’ve loved since I was a kid – makes it even more special. I hope these pieces bring as much joy, color, and fun into people’s homes as they do for me!”
The Fatboy x Dusen Dusen collection is currently available to shop now at the MoMA pop-up through mid-May 2025, or online anytime at store.moma.org.
