Singing in the rain: Morbern Europe

As the days grow longer and warmer, there is a temptation to spend more of them outside, though sometimes open-air relaxation comes at a price. Outdoor cushions provide soft seating but, with many made from moisture-averse materials, spring afternoons often end the same way, with a frantic cushion-dash relay.

Morbern produces durable, all-weather materials that stand up to the elements in a variety of the most extreme applications and sectors such as public transport, recreational vehicles and even boating. So when the Belgian high-end outdoor furniture manufacturer Extremis needed a more colourful base option for its Walrus seating range, they selected Morbern’s Sundance coated fabrics. ‘Thanks to Morbern’s Sundance, Walrus is water and weather resistant. Its robust, low-maintenance features go hand in hand with a soft, colourful design.’ states Extremis Marketing Manager, Lien Sinnesael.

Walrus’ innovative design allows it to hide away a comfortable blanket cover along with a trio of cushions in a watertight compartment, away from untimely summer rain. The moment the sun decides to shine, however, there’s no need to mess around with protective covers or send a search party for hidden cushions. Walrus’ additional comforts are unrolled from inside the sofa itself, atop its pristine Sundance PVC base.

With Extremis’ Sundance-clad sofas available in subtle Chalk and a light sandy Safari, its five separate elements present a mind-boggling number of colour combinations. Attempting to mix and match them feels a lot like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube – without tearing the little strips off. For an easier life, Extremis has produced a curated selection of combinations that complement Morbern’s Chalk and Safari PVC fabric beautifully.

With a Sundance-upholstered base unit, Walrus will stand up to both high-pressure cleaning power and the powerful elements of outdoor living, without breaking sweat or seats.
