Cotton Outdoors
Can 100% cotton be used outdoors?
Yes — in a suitable setting, with the right construction and finish, and with honest limits stated up front. Here is how the question should actually be asked.
Luxury Natural Outdoor Living
The art of outdoor living.
100% cotton upholstery fabrics, designed and digitally printed in Denizli for covered outdoor rooms.
The fabric, in a space
Find the feeling of your outdoor room.
See a design across furniture, then move closer to the fabric. Six starting points from MARE NATURA, each with quieter designs to build a complete scheme.
Application visualisations show design direction. Order a physical swatch to assess the surface, colour and light of the intended setting.
Spaces
Designed for outdoor rooms that should feel like interiors.
The collection
MARE NATURA
NATURE, ARCHITECTED.
Six chapters, sixty designs. One Mediterranean language spoken across villas, yachts, gardens and resorts.
Light / Axis / Shadow
MERIDIANA
Architectural light becomes softened geometry: openings, planes and measured shadow translated through cotton.
View chapterCurrent / Depth / Contour
PELAGOS
The unseen structure of water becomes a fluid marine language — abstract, open and composed for life at sea.
View chapterStone / Pressure / Time
LITHOS
Mineral surfaces are reimagined as blocks, strata and colour: quiet from afar, richly tactile up close.
View chapterGrowth / Form / Cadence
SILVA
Growth, fold and botanical shadow become a sculptural system closer to landscape architecture than illustration.
View chapterWeave / Tailoring / Rhythm
ORDITO
Warp, weft, check and stripe form a visual second weave that amplifies the natural structure of cotton.
View chapterDusk / Afterimage / Ember
VESPER
Deepening water, cooling stone and restrained ember tones create a cinematic language for life after sunset.

The warmth of cotton. The scale of a room.
A substantial natural weave changes the character of a cushion, bench or lounge chair. Cotton brings a matte surface and a familiar hand to outdoor spaces designed with the care of an interior.
Explore the design at furniture scale, compare the two cotton bases and assess a physical swatch in the light of your space. The recommended setting, care and measured results stay beside the design.
The material
100% cotton. Digitally printed. A heavy natural surface.
Two commercial bases carry the whole collection. Both are 100% cotton, both are digitally printed, and between them they hold every design in MARE NATURA.

Performance Passport
Every claim, made visible.
Each SKU carries a passport: fibre, base, weight, finished width, print method, recommended setting, verified properties, test results and dates, care, country of manufacture, lot reference and certificate scope.
It is reachable on the web and by QR code on the packaging. It also prepares the brand, in data terms, for the forthcoming European Digital Product Passport — though it is not claimed to replace the legal DPP.
