City umbrella
Based on our many years of experience in the development of individual roofing solutions, the 3dtex team designed and constructed a new umbrella in summer 2023 which should set new accents in series as street furniture.
Its special features are:
- round funnel umbrella with a diameter of 8.0 m made of stretched polyester fabric
- dimensioned as a permanent structure for full wind and snow loads
- as street furniture for a wide variety of scenarios: design element for public spaces, for parks, shopping streets, plaza design, etc.
- sun protection and rain protection
- central internal and revisable drainage
- elegant, minimalist design concept
The first prototype is currently being developed and will be available shortly.
The parasol serves as a base for other modules that can be combined with it. In addition to pure umbrella use with a concrete foundation in the ground, the umbrella can also be used as street furniture with a bench and integrated water reservoir thanks to a concrete base. This means that the parasol can be moved from one location to another.
It is also possible to use the umbrella as a “green city umbrella” with a raised bed and trellis for vertical greening. In this case, the membrane is replaced by a cable net construction that can be planted with climbing plants.
Other variants allow the integration of photovoltaic elements or use as a bicycle carousel.
