The Nenufar garden umbrella by Samoa Design is a true innovation in patio parasols. The contemporary design creates shade with a flat shape and, "high-tech aluminum foil split laser and tapissé fabric," according to Trendir.
The umbrella comes in round and square versions and tilts and adjusts in height to shade you stylishly from the sun’s rays. Various colors of the Nenufar are available to match with your outdoor décor, and you can even get a little table to shade your summer cocktail too!
