Sunbrella® fabrics featuring recycled content continue to expand with the latest addition from internationally acclaimed home-furnishings designer Richard Frinier. His newest creation for Sunbrella, Origins, takes advantage of the rich surface texture and mottled colorways that are making Sunbrella Renaissance fabrics increasingly popular with the design trade and consumers.
“We are living at a time when people are more interested than ever in reducing our carbon footprint,” Frinier says. “As a designer, it is important to design what comes next while also being mindful of what came before. Renaissance yarns provide a wonderful material for incorporating the lineage of the past of Sunbrella fabrics with the look and texture that are sought after today.”
The Sunbrella Renaissance family of recycled offerings (made with postindustrial content) began several years ago with braided rugs and has expanded into upholstery and awning fabrics. Frinier’s Sunbrella Origins collection is distinctive for its slightly fuller appearance and its weight, which add substance and serve to highlight the perfectly imperfect nature of this collection. The subtle textures and classic stripe patterns are designed to be mixed and matched across all constructions, patterns, and colorways. Nine patterns are included in the Frinier Origins collection, which includes a diverse color palette as well.
