Q:Can I choose a custom color for the painted parts?
A: Connect with our experts for guidance. 

Q: Why can you always sit in the shade with the Sensu?
A:
The Sensu is designed to follow the sun throughout the day. Its free-hanging canopy can be rotated and tilted, allowing you to adjust the shade exactly where it is needed. Unlike traditional center-pole umbrellas, it does not take up space on or under the table, ensuring maximum comfort and unobstructed legroom while keeping you comfortably in the shade.

Q: Is the fabric 100% waterproof?
A: With light rain you stay easily seated under the parasol. The fabric is
slightly slanted in opened position. With heavy rain, the canvas lets
through only a little bit of water. This is typical for the fabric and necessary,
because the fabric should be able to ventilate.

Q: Can you remove the fabric for washing?
A: We do not advise this but it is possible. In the first place, you should close the parasol when you do not use it and protect it with its cover.

Q: How wind resistant is the shade?
A: Tests in a windtunnel have shown that the shade withstands wind speeds up to 31 mph.  Still, we strongly advise to close it sooner (from 18 mph is the rule of thumb).

Q: Do you need to use a parasol cover?
A: The cover is needed to protect and fix the parasol when not in use. Protect your parasol from polluted rain, bird droppings, dust and heavy winds to avoid marks or stains on the parsol fabric?

Q: Is floor fastening available for this parasol?

A: Yes, with a predilled galvanized metal piece.

This freestanding shade opens horizontally like a hand fan and does not take up any space on your precious table. Thanks to its flat surface, Sensu offers excellent wind resistance while also keeping any technical parts out of sight. This floating shade opens and closes effortlessly while by cantilevering Sensu, you optimally cast the shade. The modular central pole can hold one, two, or even four shades for a maximum shade surface. Sensu is the perfect tool for enjoying a cool moment with friends and/or colleagues on a sunny day.

Refined, rotating garden umbrella

This free-hanging cantilever parasol combines the serenity of flat design with the functionality of a hand fan system. Unlike traditional center-pole umbrellas, Sensu doesn’t take up any space on and under your table - both opened and closed. Rotate and/or tilt the white, taupe, or black shade to follow the sun throughout the day.
