Outdoor fabrics: Al Fresco collection from George Spencer Designs

George Spencer Designs has launched the Al Fresco collection of outdoor fabrics.

Unlike traditional waterproof outdoor fabrics, the new Al Fresco collection is soft to the touch and is, therefore, comfortable to sit or lie on.

Designed to withstand extremes of weather, it is resistant to fading, stains, fungus and bacteria. The collection is also 100 percent recyclable, with these solution-dyed polypropylene fabrics made from colorfast, UV-resistant, nonabsorbent yarn.

Ideal for outdoor chairs, sofas and loungers, Al Fresco comes in four designs (Damask, Palm Leaf, Diamond Tweed and Small Check). Each pattern is available in seven colors.
