Eclipsum UX
The Eclipsum UX begins with a question: what if shade could move the way light does? Designed by NG Design for Umbrosa, this cantilever parasol takes the familiar flat canopy and reconceives it as a geometric object, a disc that rotates both horizontally and vertically on a single, remarkably agile axis.
The spherical form is not decorative flourish. It governs the entire logic of the piece, allowing the canopy to track the sun with a fluency that fixed or even standard rotating parasols cannot match. The result is omnidirectional coverage delivered through a silhouette that reads as sculpture before it reads as function.
The frame is crafted from naturally anodized aluminum, a material chosen for its resistance to outdoor conditions and its quiet, considered finish. NG Design, a Belgium-based studio with a consistent focus on outdoor living, brings a sensibility here that holds geometric rigor and organic form in productive tension.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Eclipsum UX rotation system work?
The Eclipsum UX rotates on an omnidirectional axis, meaning the canopy can be adjusted both horizontally and vertically from a single pivot point. This allows the disc-form canopy to follow the sun's position throughout the day without repositioning the base.
Who designed the Eclipsum UX for Umbrosa?
The Eclipsum UX was designed by NG Design, a Belgium-based studio known for its work in outdoor furniture and objects. The collaboration with Umbrosa builds on a shared focus on geometric precision applied to functional outdoor forms.
What materials is the Eclipsum UX made from?
The frame is constructed from naturally anodized aluminum, which offers durability in outdoor conditions while maintaining a restrained, low-profile finish. Canopy fabric options vary and are suited to extended exterior exposure.
Is the Eclipsum UX appropriate for commercial or hospitality projects?
Yes. Its cantilever structure, omnidirectional adjustability, and considered proportions make it well suited to hotel terraces, restaurant environments, and other contract settings where both performance and visual presence are priorities.
What distinguishes Umbrosa from other parasol manufacturers?
Umbrosa approaches the parasol as a design object rather than a utility product, working with recognized studios to develop forms that hold their own alongside considered outdoor furniture collections. Their products are consistently specified by architects and designers for projects where shade structures are part of the overall spatial composition.
