African Jacquard, known for its distinctive jacquard-woven home textiles, has ventured into the outdoor space with the launch of their Outdoor Kuba Collection, inspired by the rich geometric patterns of traditional Kuba cloth from the Congo.

At this year’s CTFW, the brand showcased the new collection in collaboration with HALDANE‘s Polka and Hula outdoor furniture collections, by developing a curated colour palette that seamlessly complemented the designer’s distinctive pieces.

The Outdoor Kuba Collection features UV-resistant, water-repellent upholstery fabric, available by the metre, making it ideal for outdoor furniture, parasol umbrellas, floating pool loungers, and so much more.

“We are excited to bring African Jacquard outdoors,” says Donna Allin, MD of African Jacquard. This boutique collection is our first step into growing our outdoor offering, and we look forward to seeing how it transforms spaces where people gather, unwind, and connect.”

To complement the launch of the new fabric, African Jacquard has introduced outdoor scatter cushions, designed with a textured wale weave, available in four curated colours (Mist, Plum, Terracotta and Evergreen) and offered in both ready-made and custom sizes. | africanjacquard.com
