Meteo Parasol
Made by Kettal
Designed by Konstantin Grcic
Konstantin Grcic approaches the parasol as a structural object. The Meteo, developed in close collaboration with Kettal, distills outdoor shelter to its most considered geometry: clean lines, precise proportion, and a silhouette composed to hold its own against open sky.
The frame is scratch-resistant aluminum, chosen for its lightness and its particular suitability to outdoor conditions over time. Stretched across it is Porotex fabric, a high-performance textile engineered to manage sun, air, and water with equal ease, while remaining simple to maintain across seasons of use.
- Scratch-resistant aluminum structure
- Porotex high-performance shade fabric
- Available in a range of colors and finishes
- Designed for extended outdoor use
Grcic's sensibility has always favored honesty of form over surface gesture. In the Meteo, that discipline produces an object that reads as complete in a private terrace, a resort setting, or a curated garden alike.
