日本で傘や日傘をデザインするようになって数年以上になる。時々、なぜこうなったのか、どうしてこうなったのかわからなくなることもありますが、とても楽しい仕事だということは確かです。
これはモントリオールで撮ったパラシェル日傘の写真で、とてもカラフルなPalais de congresです。

Parashell Parasol Gesture Drawings
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.
DiCesare Designs at Matsuya Ginza
Once again DiCesare Designs items were on display at Matsuya Ginza Department Store the biggest umbrella show in Japan! This year we displayed our latest collection at our booth beneath a great display of several hundred hanging umbrellas in Matsuya’s main hall. I got a chance to meet a lot of interesting people and see their reaction to the designs. It was also interesting to see their reaction to my at times incomprehensible Japanese language skills. An annual event not to be missed by any umbrella connaisseur.
J-wave Interview with Designer 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.

彫刻への情熱

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.
