Tuuci builds shade the way yacht builders build hulls: in Miami, to marine tolerances, for conditions that would destroy lesser parasols. The Ocean Master Max Voilare is the statement piece of the line, with sixteen arched ribs sweeping to a sea-scallop valance.
The 14-foot round canopy turns on a polished titanium mast with Tuuci’s EasyDrive crank lift, and the frame carries a 15-year warranty, a number almost unheard of in outdoor furniture. Comparable Ocean Master Max models start around $10,795 through dealers.
Why it belongs
A great terrace needs one architectural gesture, and shade is the most useful one you can buy. The Voilare reads as sculpture from the house and as shelter from beneath it. Buy once, enjoy for decades.
