Shade as a design element
Sun protection begins with a decision on form and material. The Unopiù Damian parasol makes this decision consistently: ash wood as the supporting frame, 100% solution-dyed acrylic fabric as the cover, a fine piping as the only design accent. The result is a parasol that doesn't decorate the outdoor space, but structures it.
Developed by Unopiù – the Italian outdoor specialist from Soriano nel Cimino, Lazio – the Damian collection stands for a design attitude that places proportion and materiality above ornament. High-quality garden furniture and sun protection from Italy, manufactured for permanent outdoor use.
Material: Ash wood and acrylic fabric
Ash wood combines structural resilience with a warm, lively grain. Outdoors, it develops a material quality that aluminum or steel cannot achieve: visible construction, natural texture, tactile presence. Mast, ribs, and connection points are part of the aesthetic – not hidden, but used as a design element.
The cover made of solution-dyed acrylic fabric is UV-resistant, weather-resistant, and colorfast for years. Solution dyeing means: the color is incorporated into the fiber, not applied. This quality feature is not immediately apparent, but becomes visible over time.
Two color schemes are available: natural with blue piping – a light, sandy fabric with a precise blue edge accent – and sand-colored with brown piping, a warmer, earthy combination. Both variants blend into Mediterranean as well as Nordic-minimalist outdoor spaces.
Three shapes – one design principle
The Damian collection is available in three geometries. Each shape addresses a specific spatial situation – not as a compromise, but as a precise answer to the respective terrace.
Damian Ø 350 cm, round – diameter 350 cm, height 277 cm. The even shade without directional preference makes it the right choice for central, open terrace positions.
Damian 300 × 250 cm, rectangular – W 300 × D 250 × H 277 cm. The rectangular shape follows the logic of elongated dining tables and lounge areas. The shaded area is oriented to the usage zone, not to an abstract geometry. From €1,656.
Accessories: Parasol base and protective cover
Every Damian parasol can optionally be combined with an aluminum parasol base – available in graphite or white, base area 62 × 62 cm. The base allows freestanding use on paved terrace areas without a ground sleeve. A custom-made protective cover protects wood and fabric during the off-season.
Context: Sun protection as part of the designed outdoor space
The Damian parasol is not a solitaire. It functions as part of a designed outdoor space – above a teak dining table, next to an aluminum lounge set, on a terrace with a clear design language. The restrained color palette and the wooden construction allow for broad combinability with other high-quality outdoor furniture and materials.
For terraces that understand sun protection as an integral part of spatial design – not as a subsequent addition – the Damian collection is a consistent choice. Delivery time: approx. 3–6 weeks from order.
All three models are part of the Unopiù Damian parasol range. An overview of all parasols and sun sails as well as the complete Unopiù range are available on the respective pages.
