When I first started DiCesare Designs, we only had one parasol design (the Parashell). Then I made another (the Kabocha) Pumpkin Parasol and from that a Women’s umbrella was made (the Rhythm) Pumpkin Umbrella. Recently, we have come out with a Men’s umbrella called the GRANDE Pumpkin Umbrella. It is similar to the Rhythm in style but larger and stronger with a more robust handle. Recently TEMPS magazine did a story on it and interviewed me about the design.
The show for the latest collection of rain umbrellas and parasols by DiCesare Designs, “Creator’s Room”, held at Matsuya Ginza has concluded. It was a great exhibition! I had the pleasure of meeting some truly fascinating guests!

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.
The idea of a pumpkin umbrella is incredibly cute and playful. A pumpkin parasol is a sun umbrella inspired by the shape of a pumpkin.
Grande Men’s Pumpkin Umbrella arrives at The Lobby in Hankyuu Men’s Osaka. A bookstore and cafe for those who love fashion, art, design, and music.
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.
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

Recently, I had the opportunity to collaborate with the kimono manufacturer Bushoan on a series of parasols. The finished products were truly wonderful.
彫刻は私の情熱だ。子供の頃からそうでした。私にとって傘やパラソルのデザインは、彫刻と建築の中間に位置する。試作品のために木彫りをすることもある。還元的な彫刻は私の得意分野ではないかもしれませんが、多くの喜びをもたらしてくれます。
