Create a sanctuary with these serene outdoor fabrics
STORY BY MEGAN PADILLA PHOTOGRAPHY BY JON WHITTLE
room has to be about connecting with others. Why not create one just for
yourself? The cushion for this oversize chaise by Lloyd Flanders, designed exclusively for Robb & Stucky, comes stocked
in Sunbrella's Reel fabric and is accented with a pillow in Sunbrella's Zen. Or, customize your own look with one of the
above spalike fabrics. No matter how you shape this space, it is the dreamy and decadent drape from Perennials Outdoor
Fabrics — the innovator of outdoor solution-dyed acrylic sheers — that really unifies the look. Says Perennials President
Ann Sutherland, "Evocative of washed linen, the gauzy, crinkled quality of Scrunch provides a reprieve from the outside
world." So what are you waiting for? Create your retreat now. SEE SOURCEBOOK FOR MORE INFORMATION, PAGE 88
