Acacia shade

© Design by Dirk Wynants for Extremis, 2018

Acacia is a compact, asymmetrical umbrella inspired by the African acacia tree. Its clever shape creates as much shade as a much larger conventional umbrella, with a fraction of the surface area. Turn it to follow the sun, remove the canvas when done, and what remains is a sculpture worth keeping outside all winter.

Acacia umbrella

Follow the sun. Leave the sculpture behind.

Most umbrellas fight the sun. Acacia follows it. Turn the handle, direct the canopy, and shade lands exactly where you want it. When the day is done, remove the fabric in seconds. The structure stays outside, beautiful in any season.
