Kosmos shade

© Design by Dirk Wynants for Extremis, 2008

Kosmos shade opens horizontally like a fan instead of unfolding above your head. Its patented cantilever mechanism spreads the canopy like a pair of wings, creating shade and extra intimacy without visible technical clutter. Designed to pair with the Kosmos sofa or stand independently on its own base.

Kosmos shade

Opens like wings. Keeps the space below clear.

Pull it open and the canopy unfolds sideways in one smooth movement. Hidden magnets hold it in place, while the cantilever pole keeps the area underneath free. Add optional dimmable LED light and Kosmos shade keeps the setting going long after the sun has disappeared.
