# Trumpet-Shaped Parasols MDT-Tex's Tulip Umbrella is a Gorgeous Rain & Sun Guard By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-08-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mdt-tex-tulip-umbrella References: [acriacao](http://acriacao.com/2009/08/01/tulip-umbrella-by-mdt-tex/) & [mdt-tex](http://www.mdt-tex.com/) I’m in love with this Tulip Umbrella collection from MDT-Tex. The [trumpet-shaped parasols](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tapmi-center) are outfitted with [LED lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-umbrella) to brighten up your decor at night (check out the second image for a peek) but would look equally fantastic shading you from the sun’s rays during the daytime. Best of all, you can send in a photo to MDT-Tex for a fully customized umbrella. We’ve featured a number of attractive [outdoor umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/standpoint) that enhance your existing decor rather than detract from it. Check out some of my favorites below. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Trumpet-shaped Parasols:** Customizable, LED-lit umbrella designs offer opportunities for innovation in outdoor decor. - **Enhancing Outdoor Decor:** Attractive umbrellas that complement existing decor create opportunities for innovative shading solutions. - **Customized Umbrellas:** Providing fully customized umbrellas based on customer photos presents disruptive innovation potential in the umbrella industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Furniture:** The outdoor furniture industry can explore the integration of customizable, LED-lit umbrella designs to enhance customer experiences. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can leverage attractive umbrellas that enhance outdoor decor to create visually stunning and functional event spaces. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can offer customized umbrellas as unique and stylish additions to outdoor spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connected Dual Functioning Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hulasol.md) - [Large Outdoor Parasol Shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mega-max.md) - [Livery Resort-Inspired Umbrella Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trina-turk.md) - [Umbrella-Inspired Whimsical Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasaga-lamp.md) - [Space-Inspired Folding Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloombrella.md) - [Artist-Designed Umbrella Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shed-rain-artist-series.md) - [Outdoor Cantilevered Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novara.md) - [All-Weather Protection Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weatherman-trek-umbrella.md) - [Light-Equipped Outdoor Sun Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/led-starry-night-sun-shade.md)
