Sunshades have always stood symbolically for a sense of lightness while being outdoors. They create a zone of peacefulness and protect against the sun. The OM reinterprets the classic form of a sunshade as an aesthetic object that catches the eye and possesses high functionality and solidity. Made of high-quality materials, it fascinates viewers with a clear and elegant language of form. In addition, it also surprises users with a refined rotating system that not only facilitates very easy and self-explanatory opening and closing of the umbrella, but also allows users to lock the opening in different configurations, with each lending the sunshade a different appearance and function. Thus, when fully opened, it presents itself with an overtly modern vision, and when loosely expanded, is reminiscent of Ibiza-style sunshades with their typical wave-like appearance. The innovative design concept thus offers great versatility as it allows the use of the umbrella standing or put to the wall at different angles, such as 90 degrees for an inside corner, 180 degrees for plain walls and 270 degrees around corners. The 180-degree configuration can even be used vertically as a light windscreen or space partition. Showcasing a clear and elegant use of forms as well as a sophisticated functionality, the OM sunshade embodies a perfect harmony of lifestyle and design at all times.
