There is an indelible association with vertical stripes and a general feeling of happiness and warmth. For example, folding beach chairs are often striped, as well as circus tents and popcorn boxes. Perhaps the stripes bring the eye up—and that physical action may, in turn, uplift one’s spirits. A new Sunbrella Contract Collection from Robert Allen features multiple patterns with vertical stripes. In bright colors and in concert with textured solids, these patterns give a feeling of tropical splendor.

Indoors and Out with Tropical Contract Fabrics

The Sunbrella Contract Collection includes six fabrics: Boca Linda, Fiesta Key, and Polo Beach, which are all striped; and Marco Island, Optima, and St. Tropez, which are all solid. A vertical stripe with lines of varying widths, Boca Linda comes in color combinations as bright as Life Savers: warm colors like Citrus Bowl and cool colors like Blue Tide. A much narrower vertical stripe, Fiesta Key is more subtle. A bold two-toned stripe, Polo Beach rounds out the collection. The solids in Robert Allen’s Sunbrella Contract Collection feature rich textures. Marco Island is the most three-dimensional, and St. Tropez resembles linen.

The 100% acrylic Sunbrella fabric ensures longevity, making the Robert Allen Contract Collection ideal for outdoor applications. With the collection’s broad color choices and tropical flavor, these textiles work particularly well for destination hotels and restaurants: from Palm Beach to Palermo, Mykonos to the Maldives, the Sunbrella Contract Collection by Robert Allen is sure to put you in a relaxed mood.
