Beyond the "Norm" of Parasols. A revolutionary shape-memory design, even for the act of folding.
Addressing the "Inconvenience" beyond 100% Light Blocking
For parasols, 100% light blocking and high heat shielding are now minimum requirements for selection. However, the paradox that higher-performance fabrics tend to be thicker and stiffer, increasing the "hassle" of tidying them when folded, has been overlooked. This small stress occurs every time you enter a building or get on a train. As an umbrella specialist, I believe that unless this storage burden is reduced to the absolute minimum, true daily comfort cannot be achieved.
"Memory" that Pursues the Optimal Balance of Strength and Lightness
The key to development is "shape memory" technology, which imprints folds into the fibers. The specially heat-treated fabric maintains 100% pleat retention even after 500 openings and closings, enabling "instant" storage. For the frame structure, we adopted the carbon-fiber 5-rib "pentagon," achieving an astonishingly light weight of approximately 125g, including the umbrella case. It's not just light. Even if it were heavier, we would not compromise on strength, pursuing an optimal balance by embedding robust "solid rivets" at the most stressed joints.
Addressing the "Weakness" Inherent in Ultimate Lightweighting
To be honest, due to the minimalist design with fewer ribs, there is a physical weakness: it tends to invert when wind catches the inside. Therefore, in strong winds, please hold the tip of the umbrella (the ferrule side) towards the wind. By doing so, it can deflect the wind and exhibit its inherent durability. Understanding the characteristics of a tool and enjoying mastering its use is also a commitment we want to deliver to those with genuine discerning tastes.
The Benefit of Peace of Mind Brought by Technology
This umbrella offers more than just shade. It provides "a moment of ease between movements" created by eliminating the hassle of folding and freeing you from its weight. In an era where functionality is saturated, we want to lighten the very actions of the user. "The best kind of ordinary," backed by technology, is sure to transform your summer outings into something more free and smart.
