Every terrace scheme runs into the same awkward element. The parasol is essential from midday to late afternoon and a problem from then on: too large to leave open, too present to leave standing, too much trouble to put away every evening. It is designed for one half of the day and merely tolerated during the other.
Anamon redefines what a parasol can be. The design combines two functions in one object: by day the parasol provides protection from the sun, by night it transforms into a sculptural light source. The hours in which a parasol used to be dead weight become the hours in which it does its second job.
