Looking to spruce up your patio? International fabric brand Sunbrella has launched a new collection and it’s available locally through ADF South Africa.
Sunbrella fabrics have a wide range of uses but are especially well known for their high resistance to UV rays, mildew and water, making them particularly well suited for outdoor upholstery and awnings. Glen Raven Custom Fabrics, the makers of Sunbrella, has introduced a new range called the Shift Collection. It comprises six designs that cleverly layer texture, colour and pattern for a contemporary outdoor aesthetic.
“One of the strongest trends in the market today is the use of opposing forces,” says Greg Voorhis, design director for Glen Raven. “You see old contrasted with new, light with dark, shiny with matte, natural with man-made. We considered all of these opposing forces in creating this collection and as a whole it can be seen how we ‘shift’ through these various elements from each pattern and colourway to the next.” Designed to be mixed and matched, Spotlight, Loft, Escapade, Connect, Integrated and Radiant each brings a variety of patterns and colours to the collection.
Fabrics range from R1 100/m2. For more information, visit ADF and Sunbrella.
