South Shade aims to bring fun and glamour back into the staid world of Umbrella Canopies. We are purveyors of canopy designs in the first instance. However, we recommend they are purchased with our frames for a good fit. Discerning consumers don’t want to have the same old thing, which is inevitably mass produced in China. We are therefore a proudly local supplier and offer a custom design service over and above our extensive and exciting standard range. To benchmark the level of care we offer, a concierge, in-situ set-up service of the umbrellas, is available in Johannesburg for clients who desire it.
It must be said that both professional and home decorators have oodles of fun playing with these items. Our umbrellas can be printed in any CYMK colour, or with any design that one may feel is perfect for an elevated bespoke look. We ask ourselves if designers have considered that, in the age of drone photography, this is a great new angle from which to decorate? So many properties include drone footage in their marketing material, and a stand out umbrella design can bring the look alive in this sphere of design.
We have a range of designs to achieve different stylistic objectives and have chosen beautiful patterns for any occasion. Once you have the frame (which should last a lifetime) you can change the canopy out with the seasons and the event.
So the Garden Parasol has become a fashion statement, no longer a utilitarian garden object. South Shade’s dreams are big, and we want to bring a whole new world of exceptionally tasteful, glamorous and even just good old-fashioned pretty, to the garden room, which will remain a safe space for entertaining in years to come.
