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.

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
Sculpting is my passion. It has been since I was a child. For me, designing umbrellas and parasols lies somewhere between sculpture and architecture. Sometimes I even have to do some woodcarving for my prototypes. Reductive sculpting may not be my forte but it brings me a lot of pleasure.
During Japan Fashion Week, an event called Ambiance will be held at Aoyama Bellcommons. At this year’s show, we had the opportunity to introduce our umbrella and parasol collection to attendees.
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.

The parashell first made it’s debut at Hanway in Roppongi Hills. This is the place to go if you are looking for a one of a kind umbrella or parasol in the Tokyo area. Great staff and a wide selection for all tastes. Umbrella fanatics shouldn’t miss it.

This is a great photo of the Parashell parasol taken at Cherry Beach in Toronto. I particularly like the way Trina is holding it tilted to the left in a playful way.
