Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Cassina Parasol's closing mechanism work?

Unlike conventional patio umbrellas that collapse horizontally and require significant clearance, the Cassina Parasol folds vertically along its central axis. This reduces its closed profile dramatically, making it well suited to tighter terraces or spaces where visual clutter is a concern.

What materials is the Parasol canopy made from?

The canopy is constructed from water-repellent acrylic fabric supported by fiberglass ribs, which provide both flexibility and resistance to wind load. The primary structural frame is aluminum, chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to outdoor conditions.

Who designed the Cassina Parasol?

The Parasol was designed by Dirk Wynants, a Belgian designer known for his thoughtful, human-centered approach to outdoor furniture and his ability to resolve functional challenges through inventive, refined form.

Can the Parasol base be repositioned easily?

Yes - the base swivels a full 360 degrees to track the sun throughout the day, and it is available in a version with integrated wheels, allowing the entire piece to be relocated across a terrace or garden without lifting.

Is the Cassina Parasol suitable for contract or hospitality projects?

The Parasol's durable construction, weather-resistant materials, and considered aesthetic make it well suited to high-end hospitality settings, residential terraces, and contract outdoor environments where longevity and design coherence are equally important.
