My good friend Matias Lasarte recently took a series of my umbrellas and parasols out for a photo shoot in Uruguay. I can’t express how happy I am with the results. The pictures bring out the beauty in the items far beyond what I expected. Thanks Matias. The pictures speak for themselves.I’ll be putting them on the gallery soon too!
A very special spring show at JR Nagoya Takashimaya featuring a special series of luxury parasols and umbrellas from DiCesare Designs!
I’ve been in Osaka selling this season’s collection at Hankyuu’s umbrella and parasol department. It’s been a great experience. Osaka customers are quite boisterous and friendly so I’m really enjoying the experience. Last but not least, the amazing food.
Somei Yoshino is a variety of Japanese Sakura tree that has nearly pure white blossoms that are tinged in a soft pink.
This limited edition parasol was created in collaboration with the wonderful artist, AYA KATO. Aya Kato often works with fairytales and traditional motifs, turning them into bold, psychedelic, contemporary art pieces in a style sometimes recalling Manga and Art Nouveau.
The intention of this collaboration was to provide Aya Kato with a canvas for her motifs in the form of the iconic Sakura Parasol.
This project is special to me and the Somei Yoshino is one of the nicest parasols I’ve ever made.
Debuting today on Jwave radio today!
For our third collaboration with Cocca we made a series of Kabocha Pumpkin parasols and a Parashell parasols too! The fabric we used was created by a designer named 2e san. The items are really eccentric and stylish. Look for the items at one of the many department store events across Japan I will be at this season!
We’ve just added some bright new colours into the Rhythm Pumpkin Umbrella series! We have just received the first shipment of the New Two Tone Blue and Two Tone Orange Rhythm Pumpkin Umbrellas! These vivid beauties are now available online. They can be now purchased through our official website. Also, look for them now at Isetan Shinjuku and soon in a wider range of select shops and department stores across Japan.
私は以前、美術鋳造所でブロンズ技師をしていたので、古いスライドやネガをスキャンした。当時取り組んでいたいくつかのプロジェクトの画像だ。いい思い出がたくさん蘇ってきた。特に、ブロンズの匂いは今でも鮮明に覚えている。忘れられない。
Isetan Shinjuku just opened a new select shop on the 2nd floor called “Elegant Trad & Modern Feminine” We worked with Isetan and VERY to make the Black & White Rhythm Pumpkin Umbrella. UV coated and waterproofed for use in any season as an umbrella or parasol. Simple and bold in black & white.
This is a good friend of mine, a model and a customer as well. Abe san recently picked up a Sakura Semplice parasol at the Matsuya show and went out with a photographer friend and took some great photos. Look for the shots in the gallery soon!
