Defense Sun Sail: style and design Made in Italy
Defense is the most iconic water-resistant sun sail by Corradi. Inspired by the nautical world because it is produced with the most refined and advanced materials typically used at sea. Made of stainless steel and equipped with an adjustable sail, Defense features not only components used on boats, but also the technology, and, above all, the philosophy: while light and ethereal in appearance, it is in fact solid and durable.
Freestanding or wall-mounted, it has two sails that wrap around a horizontal profile in both versions. On the freestanding model, the horizontal profile is supported by a shaped pole, with a satin finish and singular design. Precisely this element, patented for its unprecedented line and innovative aesthetic quality, earned Defense a mention among the 100 objects most representative of design Made in Italy. In fact, thanks to the soft—yet decisive—bend that gathers the canvas, the freestanding variant of Defense remaps the world of water-resistant sun sails, transforming a technical support into the most distinctive element of the entire product.
Defense can be installed directly on the ground thanks to specially designed plinths or on the base in glossy stainless steel with a mirror effect that, by reflecting its surroundings, makes the base disappear allowing it to go perfectly with any setting. The square ballast-able base, equipped with a special cover, also ensures the full stability of the sail that remains firmly on the ground even in case of bad weather. The geometry of the self-supporting Defense is completed by waterproof shade sails that, divided into two triangular modules, project a shadow with squared borders in a suspended balance of shapes and matter.
