STRUCTURELAB S1 - the sunshade system for superior demands

A free-curved sail revolutionises the world of umbrellas. Novel and distinctive in shape – that is STRUCTURELAB S1. The notably elegant, filigree and light appearing construction holds the canvas exclusively from the top. On plazas, in parcs or gardens – these umbrellas create an unique atmosphere wether at day or – effectively illuminated – at night. The award winning sunshade system STRUCTURELAB S1 satisfies highest aesthetic demands and sets a course in the design of outdoor spaces and sun shading solutions.

STRUCTURELAB S1 was developed cooperatively by architects and membrane-engineers, aimed at the creation of an unique and extraordinary designobject. The STRUCTURELAB S1 sunshade system is the amazing synthesis of elegance and functionality – the elegance of a lightweight solar sail and the sustainable functionality of a mobile umbrella system. The umbrellas are available in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes.

Type STRUCTURELAB S1 | E8 Excentro, eight-point-sail version excentric pole

First presented during SALONE INTERNAZIONALE DEL MOBILE 2010 in Milano, the STRUCTURELAB S1-Excentro provides a smart solution for narrow spaces in streetcafes, on terraces and balconies. The eccentric position of the mast opens a comfortable space for outdoor furniture while the shadow is easy adjustable – by simple turning of the pole, size, position and shape of the shadow are changed due to the eccentric shape of the sunscreen.

The STRUCTURELAB S1-Excentro combines design and elegance of the awarded S1 sunshade system with the functionality of a free-arm sunshade. Compared to well known free-arm sunshades the STRUCTURELAB S1-Excentro provides considerable higher stability in high-wind situations and is useable as an efficient shelter against rain.
