Canadian designer John Di Cesare had to move to Japan before he was able to properly research umbrella and parasol design. Once here, he came up with the unusually shaped line of Parashell umbrellas.
With Di Cesare taking inspiration from shellfish more than classic parasol design, the almost fantastical contours of the brand's parasols are not what you'd expect from such a product. But the lack of symmetry makes the series a stylish, head-turning set of accessories, from the elegant Parashell Primaveral and Parashell Magic Girl to the fancy Parashell Frill. With Tokyo's August heat wave just around the corner, we could probably all use one.
