Fabrics from the Leisurely Living Collection by PhiferTUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Outdoor fabrics and screen manufacturer Phifer is introducing a new collection to its Designed Fabrics line. The Leisurely Living Collection is "a perfect mix of warm and soothing colors and patterns with a tropical flair" that "personifies relaxation and creates an island ambiance," according to a company press release.

This outdoor furniture fabric compilation has a laid-back vibe and welcomes bold pattern mixing reminiscent of current interior design and fashion trends. Color combinations like dusty terra cotta, nectar and mocha or grey paired with olive green, citron and indigo in transitional motifs and pops of ethnic patterns are an easy match with stripes, textures and solids.

Phifer's Designed Fabrics include the plush, 100% recyclable GeoBella cushion fabrics and sleek, sling Phifertex outdoor fabrics.

The GeoBella line is a vast grouping of outdoor fabrics made of 100% olefin yarns recycled from post-industrial waste. One hundred percent recyclable, these fabrics feature a soft, touchable texture that recreates the comfort of indoor furniture yet has the stability, strength and durability needed for outdoor cushion applications. Equally chic as they are eco-friendly, GeoBella cushion fabrics pair combinations of coordinating hues and intricate weaves for a host of options to suit any decorating need.

Phifertex is a high-end performance fabric ideal for sling applications and can be used in awning, umbrella, pillow and "new and unusual exterior fabric applications," the release states. Phifertex fabrics are also infused with Microban antimicrobial product protection to help prevent the growth of stain-and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew that can damage the fabric.

Both Phifertex and GeoBella fabrics have achieved the Greenguard Select Certification mark by the Greenguard Environmental Institute (GEI) for superior air quality performance.
