Dezeen Showroom: Spanish outdoor brand Gandia Blasco and design studio Odosdesign have evolved their quintessentially Mediterranean Ensombra sunshade with add-on seating and side tables.
The Ensombra sun umbrella is a Gandia Blasco classic: it was first released 20 years ago and features a singular opening system made of overlapping slats, meaning Ensombra folds and unfolds more like a hand fan than a typical parasol.
The slats are made of phenolic board that is light and easy to handle, and the system is practical as well as attractive, providing an adjustable amount of shade depending on how the slats are positioned.
Odosdesign’s Luis Calabuig and Ana Segovia returned to work with Gandia Blasco on the new additions to the Ensombra collection, both of which are options that attach to the sunshade’s pole.
The first is a circular table, made of phenolic board, the same as the slats. This is height-adjustable so it can function as a low side table between hammocks or armchairs or a high table surrounded by bar stools.
The second addition is a large round seating module that forms a base for the sun umbrella, with an optional backrest and tray for ultimate outdoor repose.
