Lipari – Sun Protection in Series-Ready Quality
The Lipari collection by Unopiù demonstrates the versatility of sun protection. What appears to be a classic series of parasols is actually a well-thought-out system of various shapes, sizes, and accessories – tailored to the different requirements of modern terraces, commercial dining areas, and private gardens.
Lipari is available in two series: lightweight parasols with an aluminium pole and polyester fabric (Ø 280 cm and 300×200 cm), and parasols with an iroko wood pole and solid-colour acrylic fabric in sizes up to 400×400 cm and Ø 400 cm.
Design and Form
Lipari parasols follow a timeless, technically precise design language. No excessive ornamentation, no trendy details – the parasols are designed to integrate into various outdoor styles without dominating the overall look. The parasol provides shade – it is intended to create the space beneath it, not distract from it.
The Lipari Range
The collection offers optimal coverage for every terrace size. The Lipari parasol Ø 280 cm is ideal for smaller dining areas. Rectangular options are offered by the Lipari 300×200 cm and the Lipari 250×350 cm. The Lipari 300×400 cm offers twelve square metres of shade; the largest size in the wood-pole series is the Lipari 400×400 cm.
Additionally, Unopiù offers the Lipari replacement fabric 300×300 cm for the 300×300 cm square parasol with a wood pole, as well as the Serena stone parasol stand 40×40 cm for Lipari parasols with an aluminium pole (Ø 280 cm and 300×200 cm). All products are available on the Lipari collection page.
Use in Gardens and on Terraces
Lipari is suitable for dining areas and lounge zones in both private and commercial settings. The range of sizes allows you to choose exactly the coverage that suits the specific situation – without undersizing or oversizing. The Serena stone stand (35 kg) is the right stand for the models with an aluminium pole; the parasols with a wood pole stand on the 62×62 cm iron stand or the concrete stand with a tabletop.

Lipari is Unopiù's core parasol range – a system that meets the most common requirements with premium quality. For more specific requirements, Unopiù also offers the large Manta sunshade system Manta and the Salento cantilever parasol Salento. All collections are available on the Unopiù brand page.

Care Instructions – Lipari Parasol
- Cleaning the fabric: Wipe the parasol fabric with water and mild soapy water or lightly hose down smaller parasols. Do not use harsh cleaning agents.
- Allow to dry: Allow the parasol to dry completely while fully opened before folding it in or storing it – this prevents mould formation.
- Wipe the pole: Clean the pole (aluminium or iroko wood) with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Closing the parasol: Close or store the parasol during strong winds and the off-season. Wind loads can damage the parasol.
- Replacing the fabric: The Lipari replacement fabric 300×300 cm is designed for the 300×300 cm square parasol with a wood pole and extends the parasol's service life.
- Winter storage: Fold the parasol, store it in a dry place or cover it with a protective cover. The Serena stone parasol stand can remain outside all year round.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Lipari Collection
Which size Lipari parasol is recommended for a dining table for 6 people?
For a dining table for 6 people, at least 250×350 cm or 300×400 cm is recommended. The parasol should shade the table beyond the diners – an overhang of approximately 50–60 cm on each side is recommended.
Can I install a Lipari replacement fabric?
Yes, the 300×300 cm replacement fabric is available for the 300×300 cm square Lipari parasol with a wood pole. It only fits a frame of the same size, so check the dimensions of the existing parasol before ordering.

Lipari parasols are mounted on separately selected stands. The Serena stone parasol stand (40×40 cm, 35 kg) is suitable for the models with an aluminium pole (Ø 280 cm, 300×200 cm); the parasols with a wood pole stand on the 62×62 cm iron stand or the concrete stand with a tabletop.
How do I care for the parasol fabric?
The fabric can be cleaned with water and a mild detergent. Regular drying prevents mould formation. During the off-season, we recommend storing it away or using a protective cover.
