The DELTA® shade structure is an urban pergola that combines elegance, modularity, and durability. Inspired by sails and the folds of origami, it creates a floating, minimalist silhouette that transforms any space into a place of comfort and identity. Its distinctive asymmetric profile, with one side higher and the other lower, is not merely aesthetic: it allows modules to interlock, enabling multiple DELTAs to be arranged together. This creates architectural rhythms and large continuous shaded zones, adapting seamlessly to small squares, wide plazas, public parks, or private terraces.
More than a simple pergola, DELTA® has been designed as both an architectural gesture and a practical solution for urban life. It provides protection from the sun while structuring the environment with a contemporary language that unites steel and wood. Its modularity encourages creativity in layout, allowing designers and municipalities to customize how the object integrates into each context.
The shade structure was also conceived with functionality and sustainability in mind. Easy to transport, simple to assemble on site, and resistant to wind as certified by an engineering office, DELTA® offers long-term reliability. Crafted from recyclable materials such as corten steel and FSC / PEFC-certified wood, it embodies eco-conscious design that respects both the city and the environment.
Ultimately, DELTA® is more than furniture: it is a piece of urban architecture. A floating object, sculptural yet accessible, that enriches public and private spaces alike by providing shade, rhythm, and a touch of poetry.
