The Agora collections at a glance
Each of these outdoor fabric collections brings together products from a single Agora fabric line. So you choose the fabric first and then the product. You will not find fabric by the metre here, but cushions, pads and folding outdoor mattresses: you enter the dimensions in the configurator and we sew them for you.

Further fabrics and shapes are available under bench cushions, high back chair cushions and lounge cushions.
View collectionThe Agora fabrics of the five collections compared
All five lines are made of solution-dyed acrylic; what that means is explained in the guide What is solution-dyed. They differ in weave, weight and finish. Lightfastness is measured to ISO 105-B02 on a scale up to 8, more under What is lightfastness. All values for the individual fabrics can be found under Agora Liso, Agora Life, Agora Lines and Rayure, Agora Panama and Agora Simmetria.

Which Agora collection suits your furniture
Bench, chair or lounger: the choice of collection depends mainly on the furniture, the look and what matters most to you in a fabric. These five questions help you narrow it down.
Cushion for a bench or chair?
Then it is Agora Plains in plain colours. You enter the dimensions in the configurator. So measure beforehand, as shown in the bench cushion measuring guide. For lounge furniture there is the lounge cushion measuring guide.
Is recycling important to you?
The mattresses from Agora Life contain 22 % recycled acrylic from the manufacturer's production waste. Because the fibre is recycled, the shade can vary slightly from batch to batch.
Prefer stripes?
The striped mattresses are in Agora Lines and Rayure. For every Lines stripe colour there is a matching plain shade in Agora Liso, so stripes and plain can be combined.
Texture instead of a smooth surface?
The Panama weave shows a fine basket-weave pattern, in Agora Panama with 16 colours. A woven-in pattern at 405 to 420 g/m² comes with Agora Simmetria; the pattern is woven, not printed.
Mattress in a different design?
The collections show the folding outdoor mattresses sorted by fabric. All designs and sizes can be found under mattresses, the folding models under folding mattresses.
Why Agora keeps its colour outdoors
For a fabric that spends the summer outdoors, three things count: colour, UV protection and how it deals with water. This is what the data sheets of the Agora fabrics say.
Colour in the fibre core
With solution-dyed acrylic, the colour is added to the liquid spinning mass before the fibre is formed. So it does not sit on the surface and cannot rub off or wash out. The manufacturer gives a 5-year guarantee on colourfastness.
Lightfastness and UV protection
Agora Liso, Lines, Rayure and Panama reach 7-8 of 8 for lightfastness to ISO 105-B02, the Life line and Simmetria 7 of 8. Where measured, UV protection is UPF 50+, meaning the fabric blocks more than 98 % of UV radiation. What the value tells you is explained under What is UPF.
Water repellent, not waterproof
Rain beads off; in the spray test Liso, Life Liso, Lines, Rayure and Panama reach 5 of 5. The hydrostatic head of Agora Liso, Life Liso, Lines and Panama is 180 mm. In continuous rain water gets through, so let cushions and mattresses dry after a shower. More under What is hydrostatic head.
Abrasion resistance and certification
Agora Liso withstands 20,000 rubs in the Martindale test, more under What is Martindale. The Agora fabrics are tested for harmful substances to OEKO-TEX Standard 100. How to clean the fabrics is explained under fabric care.
