The Lumen Fold Series is an innovative sunshade solution that ingeniously combines Eastern aesthetics with practical functions. Inspired by the geometry of Eastern origami and the mechanism of the folding fan, this series of umbrellas transcends traditional shading products with a bionic sun-tracking system that blends utility and artistry. Its unique dynamic structure transforms mechanical motion into visual charm, elevating a practical shading tool into an art piece.
Featuring an innovative XY-axis sun-tracking system, this series leverages high-precision light sensors to detect real-time light variations and drive micro motors for horizontal and angular adjustment. In terms of materials, the canopy is crafted with eco-friendly recycled polyester materials for long-lasting durability; the thermochromic coating visually reminds of the UV intensity; and the nano water- and stain-resistant coating offers excellent self-cleaning performance; and the built-in solar system enables energy self-sufficiency. All these reflect the commitment to sustainability.
The Lumen Fold Series embodies the Eastern aesthetic of "negative space" through a modern minimalist design. The teak-patterned aluminum alloy frame, paired with a clean white canopy, creates a refined visual aesthetic. In addition, this series delivers user-centric interactive designs: three control modes (manual, remote, and app-based control) cater to diverse user preferences; the UV-sensitive color-changing coating visually reminds users to protect against UV exposure.
