Project Brief

Each PANORELLA is handmade by seasoned craftsmen, who apply their savoir-faire to the entire process, from cutting the fabric to sewing and finishing the product.
After the images are printed onto the fabric, they are meticulously hand-sewn together, to create one seamless image.

Project Innovation/Need

PANORELLA is made from the finest 100% polyester. With our thread count being 270, which is much higher than the usual thread count for umbrellas (170-210), our fabric is much softer, highly water resistant, and makes a perfect surface for quality printing.`

This carefully chosen fabric makes PANORELLA the perfect canvas for printing your own sky. Eight sections are meticulously hand-sewn together, to create one seamless image.




This award celebrates creative and innovative design for either a component or overall product. Consideration given to aspects that relate to human usage, aesthetics, selection of components and materials, and the resolution of assembly, manufacturing and the overall function.
