Polkadot Parashell Parasol in Montreal
It’s been several years since I started designing umbrellas and parasols in Japan. Sometimes I wonder how I ended up here, but one thing is certain: it’s truly enjoyable work.
This is a photo of a Parasol parasol taken in Montreal, in front of the very colorful Palais des congrès.

These are some gesture drawings I made for the Parashell parasol. These don’t serve any technical purpose but help in fleshing out the shape of future prototype concepts.
J-wave Interview with Designer John DiCesare
I went down to J-Wave for an interview with Andy Pompilio this week. It was the first time that I’ve been interviewed so I have to admit, I was a little nervous. Andy did his best to make me feel relaxed enough to get through the interview smoothly. He is so laid back and that rubbed off on me

Rhythm Pumpkin Umbrella
The Parashell parasol was the item that led me into this area of design. That being umbrella & parasol design. From the Parashell, a lot of my other items were conceived. This new umbrella series featuring an undulating canopy is called the “Rhythm” Pumpkin Umbrella. The design is unique and stylish but takes nothing away from the functionality of keeping one dry on the rainiest of days.

Parashell Parasol Maquette
I’ve being working on this project for more than 12 years now. It all started with a sketch I made as a student in art school. I never let go of the idea, and continued sketching. I then started making maquettes. The 3 dimensional maquettes informed he next series of drawings which then led to the initial prototyping stage.
