Dezeen Showroom: textile manufacturer Ultrafabrics has designed Pumice, a durable material that is colourfast against sunlight, perspiration, chlorine and seawater.
Pumice is made from a mixture of polyurethane, Repreve recycled polyester and rayon backing.
Ultrafabrics created each linear yard of material out of approximately eight recycled plastic bottles. Thanks to its durability, Pumice can be used to upholster outdoor furniture.
Available in an array of different hues – from white shore to coral glow – the material was created to maintain its colour despite exposure to sunlight and water.
"Inspired by the mesmerising beauty of the ocean's depths, the newly refreshed colour palette brings forth a spectrum of colours that evoke the wonders of underwater exploration, while its performance stands up to anything mother nature has in store," said Ultrafabrics.
