As a modern parasol that is strong against the wind, we will launch the value model "Nova," which offers excellent cost performance, on October 2, 2023 (Monday). It incorporates Takano's unique patented technology, the "Ventilation System," which prevents tipping and damage from sudden gusts of wind. A parasol that can stylishly block sunlight serves as a symbolic presence, beautifully designing the space. It creates a lively atmosphere reminiscent of European taverns in urban storefronts and evokes an elegant resort feel in natural settings. Many parasols are imported, which can lead to delays in inquiries and parts procurement during repairs or replacements. Takano is committed to developing and manufacturing its own Japanese-made parasols, ensuring quick after-sales support. 【Specifications】 - Pole: Aluminum (matte black) - Canvas material: Acrylic fabric (water-repellent treatment) in off-white - Weight: Approximately 7.5 kg 【Price】 Complete unit: Maximum umbrella width 2500 × H2422, Pole Φ38, 98,000 yen (tax included 107,800 yen) *Base sold separately.
