Global leader in performance fabrics Glen Raven announced that Internationally-acclaimed home furnishing designer Richard Frinier has launched three new Sunbrella performance fabric collections that feature tonal textures in both tone-on-tone and saturated colorways. The new fabrics, which build on Frinier's earlier success with the use of texture in designing Sunbrella fabrics, will debut during the International Casual Furniture Market in Chicago in September.

Sasian Collection
Frinier combined the words Silk and Asian to form the word "Sasian" to describe a new silk/linen weave for Sunbrella. Sasian has a rich timeless look with a natural appearance in both texture and hand. This authentic tone-on-tone texture is expressed in a full array of classic silk colorways with an eye-catching soft, chroma-shift effect.

Frinier has combined the look, feel and design aesthetic of silk and linen into one fabric with the Sasian Collection. A broad array of colors is included, ranging from Rice, Papyrus and Plum to Cinnabar, Indigo and Ink.

Savanna Collection
Frinier's Savanna Collection for Sunbrella represents a new, tonal-texture design for the performance fabric category. This woven design combines the classic look of a basket weave pattern with a sophisticated and fashionable color palette.

Colorways for the Savanna Collection include Sisal, Flax, Seagrass, Hemp, Acanthus and Abaca.

SunWeave Collection
Expanding on the success of his existing Sunbrella waffle pattern collection, Spa Weave, Frinier has created a coordinating, smaller-scaled construction called SunWeave.
