Come on board
The Kosmos parasol was created separately from the round
Kosmos sofa. Designer Dirk Wynants wanted an umbrella
that does not stand in the way when it was closed. The
Kosmos parasol, inspired by nature! The original innovation
is that it simply opens and closes horizontally. Apparently,
no one had ever come up with this system, so we patented
it. The advantages of the fan system are numerous: the
parasol is very easy to open and close, it hangs low enough
to provide extra shade and creates an intimate atmosphere.
It has a simple, clean look, as there are no visible technical
components, and no hole is required in the table. Two hid-
den magnets keep the parasol open. In very windy weather,
the magnets will release their grip, so the fabric loses its
tension and the parasol stays put.
