Inumbra shade

© Design by Dirk Wynants for Extremis, 2002

Inumbra means “in the shadow” in Latin, and that name says everything. Designed from a clean slate, this patio umbrella removes every visual distraction: no rods, no ribs, no ropes dangling above your head. What remains is a smooth, floating canvas. Strong, beautiful, and built to withstand winds up to Beaufort 8.

Inumbra

A center pole umbrella. Completely reinvented.

Available in two sizes, medium and large. Both pair seamlessly with Gargantua or Pantagruel without needing a separate umbrella base, so no lost leg room under the table. Open and close with a simple handle and spindle. Clean, minimal, and built to outlast the elements.
