1. What materials is the Alfresco Natural furniture made from?

Kubu, Abaca and Water Hyacinth.

2. What is Kubu?

Kubu, from the rattan family, is a very fast growing hard vine. Lengths of Kubu are woven over and around solid wood frames to create our furniture pieces.

Abaca is harvested from Hemp Palms (Banana Family) and twisted and rolled into a strong rope. The Abaca rope is then woven over and around solid wood frames to create our furniture pieces.

Water Hyacinth is harvested from waterways and ponds. Water Hyacinth is a fast growing reed that is plaited into long lengths of rope and woven over and around solid wood frames to create our furniture pieces.

No. Kubu, Abaca and Water Hyacinth are suitable for indoor and covered alfresco areas.

6. What happens if you leave natural furniture outside?

The natural furniture and cushions will gradually fade in direct sunlight.

7. How can you prolong the life of Alfresco Natural Furniture?

We recommend for extended non-use, that fabric cushions should be stored in an under covered dry area. Alternatively purchase one of our Alfresco and Outdoor furniture covers.
