“For years, customers have been asking us when we’ll produce fabrics they can use outdoors. We’ve always politely replied that we’d do so just as soon as we could translate the look and feel of our interior fabrics in a safe and sustainable way without the use of harmful chemicals... It’s been a long, painstaking process, but through patience, innovation and careful development, we’ve finally achieved it.
Our new indoor-outdoor fabrics are made using 100% recycled plastic bottles and are free from PFCs, PFAS and other harmful ‘forever chemicals’”. Tom Helme, co-founder, Fermoie
Fermoie is thrilled to present its new range of Indoor-Outdoor fabrics, taking the colours, textures and joie de vivre of its fine interior fabrics outside. The first Fermoie fabrics specially created for both indoor and outdoor use, the new fabrics are ideal for spaces such as, family areas, boot rooms and conservatories or orangeries. What many customers will be looking forward to most, however, is enjoying the look and feel of Fermoie fabrics in the garden and beyond.
The new fabrics are perfect for upholstering chair and bench cushions for outdoor seating and dining areas, as well as sun-loungers, windbreaks and even children’s play-tents. With a Martindale rub test score of 40,000 this enhanced abrasion resistance opens up a wide range of other commercial and non-domestic residential applications, too.
Customers can choose from nine classic Fermoie designs - Wicker, Popple, Sicily, Rabanna, Shell Grotto, York Stripe, Poulton Stripe, Orchard Stripe and Strie – in a variety of colourways, giving them 23 Indoor-Outdoor options in total. All offer the unique Fermoie blend of resolute modernity and timeless style, and the unique interplay of light, colour and texture that is a defining characteristic of every Fermoie fabric.
A Considered Approach
Over recent years, Fermoie has received repeated requests from customers, particularly in the United States, for fabrics suitable for outdoor use. However, the company was not prepared to take easy shortcuts to deliver a ‘quick win’ or compromise its founding beliefs and commitment to sustainability by using mainstream materials and methods.
As a reward for their patience, customers can be assured that the new fabrics are made using same the in-house techniques as the Fermoie products they know and love. Naturally, this includes a bespoke basecloth woven to the company’s specification: in this case, from 100% recycled plastic bottles. The cloth is skilfully woven to give the same soft handle and texture as their cotton cloth.
