Shade Solutions for Designers & Architects
Designing outdoor spaces demands the same level of intent, material integrity and longevity as interior or architectural work. Shade & shelter should never be an afterthought – it should support the design language, enhance usability and perform reliably for years to come.
At Instashade Parasols, we work closely with designers and architects to deliver high-quality parasols and shade solutions that integrate seamlessly into considered outdoor environments.

Who We’ve Worked With
Designed to Work With Your Vision
Every project is different. That’s why we offer a flexible mix of standard and bespoke shade solutions, allowing designers to choose the right balance between efficiency and customisation.
Whether you need a proven parasol format with defined lead times, or a solution tailored precisely to a scheme’s layout, scale or material palette, we can adapt our offering to suit the design intent – not force the design to suit the product.
This approach allows shade to be specified early, refined through the design process, and delivered without compromise.
Customisation That Complements, Not Competes
Outdoor spaces feel designed when every element relates to the whole. We support designers with a wide range of customisation options, including canopy colours, trims, valances and finishes, enabling shade structures to complement surrounding architecture, landscaping and furniture rather than dominate them.
Our role is to help shade sit comfortably within the wider composition — visually calm, proportionally correct, and consistent with the overall design language.
Quality That Performs Long-Term
Design-led outdoor spaces demand materials that last. Our parasols are specified for durability, structural integrity and long-term performance, making them suitable for both high-end residential and demanding commercial environments.
This focus on longevity ensures that the finished space continues to look intentional years after installation, rather than weathering unevenly or requiring early replacement.
Support Beyond Product Specification
We understand that successful outdoor design depends on more than selecting the right product.
Our team supports designers and architects with:
• Early-stage discussions around layout, scale and shade strategy
• Guidance on fixing methods, exposure and installation requirements
• Professional installation to ensure the design intent is carried through to completion
A Collaborative Approach to Outdoor Design
By working collaboratively, we help designers deliver outdoor spaces that feel resolved, purposeful and durable – where shade is an integral part of the architecture, not a compromise added at the end.
We see ourselves as a design partner rather than a supplier.
