Zhejiang Zhengte Co., Ltd. designs the Novara Cantilever Umbrella -- it is also the latest winner of the Red Dot Award for the year, taking the top prize. The details down to the engineering are bold and meticulous, with a custom base foundation precisely matched to the canopy's dimensions.
This way, it can create a system that works simultaneously with its natural physics instead of working against the design. There are rotating cuff mechanisms that move slowly without the grinding sound. The front handle is placed in a way that makes it convenient to use, and the entire system notably ships in one box. Novara is also made mostly from recycled materials to highlight an eco-friendly build.
