Nano UX
Made by Kettal
The Nano UX is a cantilever parasol of considered proportion, designed by Dirk Wynants for Kettal. Two compact fan canopies extend shade precisely where it is needed, making the piece well suited to smaller terraces and intimate outdoor settings where a conventional parasol would overwhelm the space.
The canopy is constructed from Colorum fabric, a high-performance textile chosen for its resistance to staining and its ability to hold color under prolonged sun exposure. A lateral tilt mechanism allows the canopy to follow the arc of the sun, maintaining consistent shade without repositioning the base.
The frame is offered in two distinct expressions:
- Full Black, pairing a black frame with a Colorum Black canopy
- Architecture, combining a Papyrus White lacquered frame with a Colorum Marble canopy
Wynants, the Belgian designer behind the celebrated Extrem collection, brings the same formal discipline here: a piece that earns its place outdoors through restraint, not spectacle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Colorum fabric and how does it perform outdoors?
Colorum is a high-performance outdoor fabric engineered for stain resistance and UV stability. It is designed to retain its color and structural integrity under prolonged exposure to sunlight, making it well suited to demanding outdoor environments.
How does the lateral tilt mechanism on the Nano UX work?
The lateral tilt mechanism allows the canopy to be angled in relation to the sun without repositioning the base. This means shade can be maintained across different times of day by adjusting the canopy's orientation rather than moving the entire parasol.
Is the Nano UX suited to small terraces or compact outdoor spaces?
The Nano UX was designed specifically with compact settings in mind. Its twin fan canopy configuration delivers effective shade coverage while keeping the structural footprint modest, making it appropriate for smaller terraces, balconies, and intimate courtyards.
Who is Dirk Wynants and what is his relationship with Kettal?
Dirk Wynants is a Belgian designer whose work is defined by a rigorous approach to outdoor furniture. His long-standing collaboration with Kettal has produced some of the brand's most recognized pieces, built around the idea that outdoor spaces deserve the same design intelligence as interiors.
What finish options are available for the Nano UX frame?
The Nano UX is offered in two configurations: Full Black, which pairs a black frame with a Colorum Black canopy, and Architecture, which features a Papyrus White lacquered frame alongside a Colorum Marble canopy.
