Tuuci Ocean Master Max Cantilever

TUUCI'S Newest parasol style, the MAX Cantilever Classic, is simply art and engineering harmonizing in a symphotny of shade.

The polished and anodized marine-grade canopy structure cantilevers from a sturdy, oval shaped mast insipred by sailing yachts. And with the combined features of a solid stianless teel milled culcrum and automatic telescoping mast, the shade membrane easily closes over tables and chairs.

Best of all it's incredisbily easy to operate with its patent pending, first of its kind, 4:1 tandem retrieving crank system that provides 200 square feet of uninterrupted shade and ambiance.

The Max Cantilever Classic by TUUCI offers graceful and generously proportioned shade to any sun drenched environment and its timelessly designed for all enclaves, traditional and contemporary.

Giati Furniture: Luxury For Life

GIATI Designs, Inc., manufacturer of quality crafted indoor/outdoor teak furniture, cast aluminum furniture, Market Umbrellas and imported European all-weather textiles, headquartered in Santa Barbara, California. Giati products are available through at Walters Wicker NYC.

Giati furnishings have become an essential resource of the design professional and are an instrumental part of the interior design of fine estates and prestigious resorts. Giati products offer understated elegance, design integrity and a character that softens the transition between interior and exterior spaces. The quality of Giati product is unparallel.  It is something we take great pride in.  Every detail matters and the sum of the details makes our furniture, umbrellas, pavilions, and fabrics better.

GIATI Teak
Giati teak wood is a renewable, sustainable resource. Our EcoTeak™ is absolutely unsurpassed in quality.  It is carefully sawn, graded, surfaced and painstakingly re-graded.  Only the finest, oil rich, defect free heartwood is selected for our use.  Giati teak is then slowly kiln dried, aged and then re-acclimated for maximum stability and longevity.
Palazzio Collection
Giati collections offer refined elegance for interiors and exteriors — allowing you to transform any space into an oasis of luxurious living. The Palazzio collection features a wide range of products in elegant rich designs that will make a statement in any outdoor setting. Pictured below is the Palazzio lounge chair and  Giati Apoggee umbrella.

GIATI Metal
Our cast furniture begins with pure 356.2 aluminum ingot directly imported from Australia.  We do not use old window frames, soda cans or other sources of used or compromised aluminum because it contains impurities that degrade quality. Our 304 stainless steel tubing is heavy gauge with thick walls.  Other stainless parts are machined from solid stock resulting in furniture of substance.  We do not use thin, stamped metal parts. Giati Stainless steel and aluminum furniture is meticulously crafted and finished.  Our fabrication incorporates die-casting, machining, welding, mechanical fittings and a great deal of handwork. The result speaks for itself.  Examine the transition from leg to stretcher, feel the smoothness of our handcrafted welds.  Compare the consistency of our fit and finish.  Turn any piece of Giati furniture up side down and reveal an underside as finished as any top surface.

Castillo Collection 
Giati presents the Castillo collection; made from the highest quality metals, these designs are timeless. The unprecedented look will be around forever, and every piece in this collection will easily last 20 years with no need for repair or replacement. 
Castillo Sofa, Club Chair and Ottoman
