Shade is a luxury. A privilege that, when offered with elegance, completely transforms our outdoor experience. It’s not just about temperature—it’s a state of being. A moment of calm, of pause, of breath. At Garbar, we believe shade is also a matter of design. That’s why we place it at the centre of our parasol collections.
There’s something deeply satisfying about sitting beneath a wide, quiet, serene canopy of shade. The world keeps moving, but you enter a different dimension—cooler, slower. A well-crafted parasol doesn’t just cast a shadow; it casts a sense of well-being.
Garbar parasols: design, durability and sustainability
Our models are designed to create that subtle, precise gesture that changes everything. From the compact, functional CORSICA to the bold elegance of SICILIA, each Garbar parasol is an invitation to enjoy the outdoors as it should be. MADEIRA and SANTORINI balance proportion and lightness, while SARDIGNA offers generous coverage with timeless presence. For those who need versatility, the cantilever MALLORCA allows you to direct the shade exactly where you need it.
Every Garbar parasol is crafted with a sustainable and demanding approach. We use Obravia2, a technical fabric that is 100% recyclable, with a weight of 240 g/m² for a robust yet elegant texture. Its solution-dyed colour maintains intensity under the sun and offers certified UV 80+ protection, effectively blocking harmful rays. It’s mold, stain and abrasion-resistant, making it a long-lasting companion—even in coastal or high-traffic environments.
The structures—available in aluminium, wood or fiberglass—are built to withstand the test of time. Our powder-coated aluminium not only enhances durability, but also reduces environmental impact during production. Choosing Garbar means shade is not just a promise—it’s a guarantee.
We don’t see shade as the absence of light, but as the presence of care. Of design. Of detail. And when it’s delivered with style—like in every Garbar parasol—it becomes the true centrepiece of the space.
