Parashell Parasol by DiCesare in Montreal

This is my favorite Parashell parasol. I didn’t like it much when it first came out, but I’ve grown to like it more and more. I thought it might be a bit too formal, but after taking pictures with Sandra, I realized it goes well with casual outfits too.

Polkadot Parashell Parasol in Montreal

Parashell Parasol by DiCesare Designs

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.

DiCesare Designs at Matsuya Ginza

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.

Parashell Parasol Maquette

Parasol Maquette by DiCesare

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.
