Dickson, the global leader in outdoor fabrics with more than 600 references on

Sunbrella ® Renaissance is the first upholstery fabric made with recycled
fibres.
One of the all-time great fashion trends, the strap, is making its debut in the
outdoor/marine fabric world with the new Sunbrella ® Straps collection.
Last but not least, the Sunbrella ® Terry collection was specially developed for
the boating world to ensure optimal comfort at sea.

SUNBRELLA ®
RENAISSANCE
THE FIRST SUNBRELLA ®
FABRIC MADE WITH
RECYCLED FIBRES
The new Sunbrella ® Renaissance collection,
made with up to 50% recycled fibres, is
available in three beautiful styles with a wide
range of colours and designs that can be
elegantly mixed and matched:
Heritage – a lovely array of seven solids;
Parker – three new striped patterns for
a fanciful flair; and Sax – six herringbone
patterns for a chic, sophisticated look.
The recycled fibres are taken directly from
the factories where the fabric remnants are
divided by colour batches, reconditioned as
fibres and woven together with fresh, new
Sunbrella ® fibres.
The Sunbrella ® Renaissance collection
features 16 exquisite references, all protected
by a special weather-proofing, stain-proofing
treatment and backed by a five-year warranty.
This collection provides a vintage feel with a
modern twist for an eye-catching, comfortable,
environmentally-friendly outdoor setting.
Atmosphere created with the following fabric references:
Sax Cardinal / Heritage Papyrus / Sax Char / Parker Magma.

SUNBRELLA ®
STRAPS
THE STRAP
EFFECT STEALS
THE SPOTLIGHT
A fundamental trend, the strap weaves its
braids on today’s chairs, benches and other
types of designer seats. By launching its
first collection of outdoor straps (Sunbrella ®
Straps), in collaboration with the style team,
Dickson offers outdoor furniture makers
an exciting opportunity to personalize and
market customizable products. Using two
types of weave (canvas and braided), they
can create their own unique straps, drawing
from the vast array of predefined colours.
The first solution-dyed acrylic fibre Straps
to hit the market, this collection provides
unparalleled resistance to UV rays and
coordinates exquisitely with all the Sunbrella ®
Outdoor fabrics. Thanks to the reinforced
spinning of the yarn, it also provides the
comfort and durability needed for this very
specific application on seats and backs of
chairs.
THE SUNBRELLA ® STRAPS COLLECTION
INCLUDES :
2 weave effects to mix and match within an elegant
range of predefined colours, backed by a 5-year
warranty and protected by a special stain-proofing,
weather-proofing treatment:
Canvas effect: 4 widths (15, 30, 40, 50 mm)
Braided effect: 1 width (50 mm only)
Colours and design (solids or stripes) on request.

SUNBRELLA ®
TERRY
FOR THE PLEASURE
OF BEING AT SEA
Sunbrella ® launches its Sunbrella ® Terry
collection, catering to the specific needs of
the boating market. This clever range of terry
cloth fabrics particularly appeals to the many
boat owners who must cover their leather or
leatherette seats with cotton to protect their
skin from the heat.
Unlike most cotton fabrics – that do not
withstand the wear and tear of repeated
machine washing and extended exposure to
UV rays very well – the new Sunbrella ® Terry
fabric guarantees long lasting colourfastness
and UV protection as well as effective
resistance to mould and the rigours of a
marine environment (salt water in particular)
thanks to the solution-dyed fibres used in its
unique weave.
It is also softer, thicker and more comfortable
than fabric made mostly with cotton.
A luxurious knitted terry cloth designed
to optimize the texture, performance and
elasticity.
THE SUNBRELLA ® TERRY COLLECTION
is available in 9 solution-dyed colours
and backed by a 5-year warranty.
Atmosphere created with the Navy (blue) and Parchment (beige) references.
