Umbra Folding parasol
Designed by Dirk Wynants and developed jointly with the Belgian company specialized in umbrellas and parasols, UMBROSA, the UMBRA folding parasol offers a safe and reliable design adapted to the personality of the GANDIABLASCO outdoor furniture.
The UMBRA folding parasol, made with 100% acrylic canvas, highly UV resistant, and water repellent, is supported by a robust pole made of powder-coated aluminium with super-durable powdered paint. Its base is composed of a set of concrete tiles hidden by a galvanized steel cover that provides great stability as well as mobility, thanks to its four wheels with brakes.
Its square shape and eccentric-type configuration allows the axis to be moved from its base to one side, enabling it to be positioned at different angles with a rotation of up to 360º. It can also be adjusted in height, which facilitates its versatility and adaptation to any outdoor environment.
The UMBRA folding parasol can be folded into a fan shape for storage and includes a protective cover. Versatile, practical, stable, and resistant, this designer umbrella manages to imbue any space with Mediterranean style and freshness.
The UMBRA folding parasol is an original design of Dirk Wynants.

About Dirk Wynants
Born in Belgium in 1964 as the son of a cabinet maker, Dirk Wynants studied Interior Architecture and Furniture Design at the Sint-Lucas Faculty of Architecture in Ghent.
Based between the hop fields in Flanders, Belgium, his design studio Dirk Wynants Design Works, or DWDW, proved itself in many different branches in product design, but is mostly known for its outdoor furniture designs.
“Designers should have the ambition to change the world for the better”, is a believe that is put in daily practice. Therefore every of his designs has to earn its reason of existence by offering important added value. Changes in society are the inspiration, a focus on sustainability is always there.
His design methodology resulted in countless design awards, coming from a focus on starting with a strong “why”, multidisciplinary thinking and just looking at things from a very different, even opposite angle. The belief that everything has the potential to be improved is combined with a super wide curiosity, while keeping the ability to free yourself from the knowledge of what already exists.
This is an attitude he tries to grow inside the minds of his students at the Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts, where he is responsible for industrial design education. Designing good products contributes to everyone’s quality of life. Teaching about how to do it is the multiplicator.
