Acacia

Description

This eccentric parasol is intended to be directed towards the sun so that it can create as much shade as a larger parasol, despite its relatively small surface area. This parasol deflects a maximum of the sun’s rays with a limited textile canopy. Instead of closing it, simply take off the canopy and put it away. You will be left with a sculpture inspired by the branches of the African acacia. When the sun goes down, the integrated lighting beneath the parasol canopy creates a warm ambiance.

Statement of the jury

With an unconventional, irregular form, taking the Acacia tree as its inspiration, the sunshade presents as unique and eye-catching. An integrated LED light under the canopy offers multiple use after the sun has gone down, while the easy to remove and manoeuvre canopy provides ample and effective shade during the day.
