Irwin Weiner ASID - It's interesting to me that outdoor furniture designers have come up with exotic variations on the old patio table umbrella we all grew up with - the ones that cranked up and down and looked like retro glam relics from the Fifties. MDT-tex, for instance, turned the parasol shape upside down and created their Tulip parasol umbrella (top photo). Here are a few other variations on the outdoor umbrella that will add interest and flair to your outdoor rooms this summer. Click on each photo for more information.
