Marcel Wanders designs for Symo
Dutch designer Marcel Wanders has collaborated with Belgian parasol manufacturer Symo to create Geisha, the latest design parasol in its famous Sywawa range.
Presented at Milan Design Week, the parasol embodies the essence of the mysterious Japanese tradition of geisha with an understated and soothing ambience. Wanders has designed stylised flower motifs for the inside of the parasol, whilst a metal bow adorns the top – a typical accessory on the kimono of a geisha.
Pierre Christiaens, CEO of Symo Parasols, comments: “We offer hip design on the parasol market under the brand name Sywawa. To this end we frequently collaborate with top designers. We bring their design parasols to the terraces of hotels, restaurants, brasseries, swimming pools and beach bars all over the world.”
