Poggesi: the engineering of shade between art and innovation

Since 1964, Poggesi has transformed Florentine artisan mastery into cutting-edge solutions for the most exclusive outdoor living. Born in the heart of Tuscany, we have evolved the tradition of the artisan parasol atelier into a laboratory of innovation where aesthetics meets precision, making every creation a structural element that defines and elevates the outdoor space.

Made in Italy parasols

The Florentine heritage of Poggesi

The story of Poggesi begins in Florence, a city where a sense of proportion and the pursuit of beauty are woven into the landscape itself. We have made this creative legacy our own, preserving a tradition that blends Tuscan genius with the most refined demands of contemporary design. Every Poggesi parasol is a work of ingenuity conceived to harmonise with its surroundings, from the private garden to the historic squares of the world.

The technical evolution of outdoor living

At Poggesi, aesthetics never comes at the expense of function. We are pioneers in the development of patented technologies that have transformed the industry, including the arm attachment system in our side pole models.

Unlike standard solutions, our patent positions the arm beneath the canopy fabric: an innovation that makes opening and closing the umbrella significantly smoother and more effortless. This configuration ensures greater stability and a minimal footprint when closed, while delivering a design of pure, essential lines.

The result is a superior elegance, ideal for the operational efficiency of outdoor dining spaces in the Contract sector and for the architectural rigour of luxury residences.
