It’s in to be out(side). Our interiors have been extending into the exterior. This poses a fabulous opportunity to the textile industry. But what does it take to make it in the great outdoors? Join our hostess, Jennifer Castoldi, as she explores what it takes to make the cut. Thinking about having a coming out party for your fabrics? Do they have high UV protection? Are they colorfast and weather fast? High durability, abrasion resistance and environmental consideration are all key elements too. What is a UPF rating? Learn more about textiles that have the credentials to bring their soft side to the backyard, roof top garden, poolside, romantic picnic for two… And visit the famous location of 6, Mandel where Jean-Christophe Stoërkel, landscape architect, tells us about using textiles in his outdoor projects. Whether you are producing or buying such fabrics, this episode gives you one more excuse to celebrate a good report from the weatherman.

These products are a sneak preview of what you will find at MoOD this September. MoOD is one of the 100+ international design events the Trendease Team travels to in order to bring our community cutting-edge design information straight to their computer screens via www.Trendease.com
