The Levante Side Wind is part of our range of large canti lever parasols, manufactured and designed to exacting standards with durability, strength and style in mind – the three key points of all Loriini Umbrella products. The Side Wind features a 360o rotating base and 45o ti lt so you can still find shade as the sun goes down.
The base weights are made using bamboo, which sit in a powder coated steel base frame. The frame has adjustable feet for uneven surfaces whilst protecting the floor. We use a specialised type of polymer for the bearings meaning that they never seize up or rust.
This parasol was designed for both commercial and domestic use, bringing a magnificent focal point for any location. We can also supply this parasol with an in-ground base.
Loriini Umbrella is a certificate holder of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) scheme and we endeavour to source our bamboo through FSC®-certified forests. This ensures that our bamboo is well managed, and protects local communities and natural wildlife.
All the materials used in the production of our parasols are 100% recyclable. The oil finish we use has a low VOC and the bamboo is dipped rather than sprayed. The glues we use are European and are rated well within the EU (E1 standard). Recycled materials are used for packaging where possible. All this helps keep the impact of manufacturing on the environment to a minimum. At Loriini Umbrella, we understand our social responsibilities and require our international partners to adhere to highlevels of welfare, far exceeding local labour standards.
The process of producing Loriini Umbrella parasols starts with the careful selection of the bamboo. After years of research and rigorous testing, we found Moso bamboo to be the only species suitable for outdoor use. One of the characteristics of Moso bamboo, which sets it apart from over a thousand other species, is the size of the individual fibre strands. These strands are much smaller and more tightly condensed, making them similar to the structures in fine grained hardwood like teak. We found other bamboos that had larger strands and were not so tightly condensed were more like softwoods, as the fibres/ strands would peel individually.
