A new line of soft, durable casual furniture fabric is now available from The Astrup Company. A masterful blending of PVC coated polyester and Olefin fibers, Marquesa fabrics by Phifer are an excellent choice for comfort and durability in deep seating applications in outdoor living settings, as well as marine interiors.

Marquesa Fabrics by Phifer are noted for their soft feel and high performance. The fabric will not fade or fuzz and rates high in comfort with its soft textured weaves and patterns. Cushions stay smooth and hold their shape over time, thanks to the strength and dimensional stability of PVC coated polyester yarn in the blend, which also allows for designs with greater luster and depth of pattern.

Due to the superior water-wicking and anti-microbial capabilities of these fabrics, outdoor furnishings, scatter pillows and umbrellas made with Marquesa fabric will dry quickly and stay mold free with minimal care. Marquesa cleans easily with mild soap and water. Because the fabric tends not to absorb water, thicker foam can be used in cushions, which has been avoided with outdoor furniture in the past. The standard width is 54" and weights vary from 11.9 to 13.8 ounces per square yard depending on the pattern. Marquesa meets all standards for cushion fabrics as listed by the Casual Furniture Fabric Association including UV colorfastness and abrasion.

The Marquesa fabric collection consists of an exciting selection of patterns and colors including: Abaco Island, Canyon, Chinchilla, Dorado, Durango, Fern Plush-Dorado, Fern Plush-Glass Block, Glass Block, Pasha, Salsa, Sonora and Versailles.
