Ombrellificio Poggesi - The art of creating shade
Ombrellificio Poggesi was founded in the mid-1960s when
the entrepreneurial spirit of traditional craftsmen launched the production
of umbrellas as rain shelters.
In that boom in Italy, no longer agriculture-based but not yet industrial,
when the local market was the real shopping centre, production rapidly
changed from rain shelters to market stall umbrellas. The next step was
to flank professional market production with garden umbrellas: the classic
umbrella with wooden central pole and canopy in ecru cotton.
From that moment on, Ombrellificio Poggesi developed its product range
in terms of design, materials, function and style. Changing everyday needs
which see the garden as an extension to living space have called for strong
commitment, the result of constantly
updated know-how in the design, production and patenting of technically
astonishing, eye-catching side-arm umbrellas which in a very short time
placed Ombrellificio Poggesi among the sector leaders.
