Cygnus opens 96 square feet of shade with no center pole. One light touch and the shade is already above you, for a patio lunch that stretches past four, for a full afternoon by the pool. The sun moves, you turn the lever: everything underneath stays right where it is.

The gas piston that moves the Cygnus arm was designed to lift weight with a controlled motion: zero effort on your arms, uniform resistance from start to finish.
From a seated position, you open it effortlessly and close it in seconds when the weather changes. The piston handles both movements.

Each finish has its own dedicated fabric colours. A palette designed by the Maanta Style Centre, our in-house design studio.
The lever at the base unlocks and rotates the pole to any position. The shade follows the sun, the table stays where it is.

It can be self-installed using the included manual. For safe handling during the arm-raising phase, we recommend having two people: the complete assembly weighs approximately 64 lbs.
Express worldwide shipping via DHL in 3-5 business days from confirmed order. You'll receive tracking information by email as soon as the package leaves our warehouse.
Yes, as long as the building's regulations allow side-arm cantilever umbrellas and the flooring can support a minimum ballast of 265 lbs. Also check the opening clearance from the parapet walls.
We operate primarily as a pure e-commerce player. For large-scale projects, specific requests, or simply to stop by, we arrange appointments at our facility in Gambellara (VI), Italy.
Continuous. The lever at the base of the upright lets you rotate the arm to any position around the pole and lock it in place wherever you need.
Yes. On wood decking, you can use the fillable 4-in-1 umbrella base or the wood floor anchor plate. The in-ground anchor plate is not recommended for decking, unless there is a load-bearing structural frame underneath.
The Acrishade fabric is water-repellent and can handle brief rain showers. If heavy rain or winds above 15 mph are in the forecast, close the umbrella: the perimeter velcro strap keeps it neatly secured along the pole.
It's a patio umbrella where the pole is positioned to the side rather than at the center of the canopy. The fabric is suspended from a horizontal arm, leaving the space underneath completely open — no obstructions for tables and seating.
It's a pressurized gas spring — the same technology used in car tailgates. It pushes the arm when you open it and holds it back when you close it. You make a light move, the piston handles the weight.
It is a single opening at the top of the fabric, without a flap. When wind gets under the canopy, the airvent lets it escape from the top: it reduces pressure on the structure and lowers the risk of the canopy flipping over.
Water-resistant. Acrishade repels water and holds up against light showers, but it's not a total barrier: during prolonged or heavy rain, some seepage is possible. In heavy downpours, it's best to retract it.
Yes, with two dedicated accessories sold separately that attach to the central hub beneath the canopy. The magnetic lamp MGL-8138 (Ø 10.9 in, continuous dimmer, 2,500 mAh battery) or the clip lamp MGL-8109 (Ø 7.9 in, three warm white light levels, 1,600 mAh battery).
Up to 19 mph. Above this threshold, we recommend closing it: the gas piston-assisted closing mechanism takes you from open to closed in just a few seconds, even before a sudden storm.
Via USB cable. Simply detach them from the hub, charge them from any standard outlet (phone charger, power bank, or computer), and snap them back into place magnetically. Typical battery life covers a full evening with the dimmer set to medium.
Between 30 and 45 minutes the first time, including base installation. After that, seasonal opening and closing takes just a few minutes.
It's recommended, yes – at least for lifting the arm onto the pole. Once the arm is in position, the gas piston takes care of the rest.
Yes. The base is set up first by filling it with sand or water for ballast, or securing it to the floor with the dedicated plate, then the Cygnus pole is inserted into the fitting and locked in place.
The anchoring accessories compatible with Cygnus are:
Yes, you can use either the steel anchor plate for concrete or the in-ground anchor plate. This is the ideal solution for permanent installations where you don't need to move or store the umbrella seasonally.
Lower the arm, wrap the fabric along the pole using the perimeter Velcro strap, and cover it with the protective cover (sold separately). If possible, detach it from the pole and store it in a dry place.
Yes. Lukewarm water, mild soap, soft sponge. No solvents, no high-pressure power washer, no washing machine. The fabric should be left to dry open, in the shade.
It's not required if the area is sheltered and winter winds are manageable. If the location is exposed, we recommend closing it, covering it with the cover, and storing it indoors — in your garage, basement, or any protected space.
Yes, available as a separately purchased accessory. Shaped to fit the Cygnus cantilever arm, it covers the fabric when closed along the pole. Made from sun- and rain-resistant material.
There's a lever at the base of the pole. Unlock it, rotate the arm to the desired position, then lock it back in place. The rotation is continuous at 360°.
7 years on the frame (pole, arm, mechanisms, aluminum). 3 years on the fabric (seams, Acrishade fabric, textile accessories).
