or Call to Order

The Parasol Outdoor Umbrella by Cassina rethinks how a typical patio umbrella opens and closes. Cassina has made it easier and more prac­ti­cal, making it the perfect acces­sory in their Outdoor Collec­tion. It has a classic square shape, a cantilevered sidearm, and an endless array of posi­tions. An object that combines the flat design aesthetic with the conve­nience of the fan-opening system, thanks to which, the only one of its kind, it closes hori­zon­tally rather than verti­cally, a step ahead in prac­ti­cal­ity. The 360° swivel base, avail­able with or without wheels, and the fan-opening tech­nol­ogy with fiber­glass ribs ensure this is a dramatic outdoor acces­sory when it’s open and elegant and discreet when it’s closed.
