The Levante is our premium and most popular parasol, designed for the commercial and high-end domestic markets. It is made using a single piece pole for extra strength and durability, and has simple, clean classic lines, with the contemporary feel of stainless steel and natural bamboo. Our double pulley rope system ensures easy raising and lowering, even on the largest of models.
The Levante range incorporates a turned bamboo hub and runner with stainless steel brackets, a bamboo finial, and an elegant, practical cleat locking system. The covers are attached using our own bolt-down stainless steel ribend protector system or alternatively sewn pockets. The ribs and supporting arms are fitted with stainless steel through bolts, making all the parts easily interchangeable and replaceable.
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.
