The Twist parasol receives the 2023 Red Dot Design Award

Frauenfeld, April 2023 – The Twist parasol from the Swiss parasol expert Glatz combines innovative design with user-friendly functionality and ergonomics. This shade-giver has now received the renowned Red Dot Design Award in the category of product design for its outstanding design quality and style.

The international expert jury for the award assessed the design quality and degree of innovation of countless submissions. The parasol impressed the jury with its elegant aesthetic and the sophisticated concealed technology.

Owing to the wide, flat ribs with ball-and-socket joints, the roof of the new parasol appears, at first glance, to be floating. The connection with the base looks like it’s made of one piece due to the inner support tube and the decorative cover plate in the same colour as the octagonal, soft-contoured parasol pole. It is opened and closed using a crank, which can be angled during use and then automatically returns to a vertical position. This keeps the mast looking tidy at all times. All operating elements are at hip height and easy to use. In order to find the right Twist for a balcony or patio, parasol buyers can choose among 66 different shades of colour for the high-quality, long-lasting and water-repellent fabric of the parasol roof.
