Ocean Master MAX Center Post
The heavier mast, and the widest choice of silhouettes
A center-post parasol puts the mast in the middle of the canopy. That gives the most stability for a given canopy size, the cleanest structure and the lowest base weight, which is why it remains the standard for dining tables and for terraces where the parasol is meant to look architectural rather than improvised.
The MAX mast is thicker than the M1, and it carries larger canopies and some of Tuuci’s most distinctive designs. Ten models.
The ten MAX Center Post models
MAX Classic
Expansive shade, reinforced canopy skins, traditional European tailoring and nothing decorative. Square canopies of 2.45, 3.0, 3.65, 4.25 and 4.9 metres, or octagonal at 2.75, 3.4, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.2 metres. If in doubt, this is the one.
MAX Bolero
A domed canopy with cascading struts and a scalloped accent cap, drawn from the Mediterranean rather than from Miami. Round, at 2.7 and 3.7 metres.
MAX Bolero: Ombré Blossom
The same Bolero structure, with several hundred hand-tufted outdoor-rated blossoms worked into the canopy. It is a decorative piece and it behaves like one: it draws the eye across a whole terrace. Round, at 2.7 and 3.7 metres.
MAX Voilare
Sixteen arched ribs and a flowing Sea Scallop valance. The frame is part of the design, and it reads from underneath as much as from outside.
MAX Manta
The manta ray shape at MAX scale, with an open, airborne canopy that lifts rather than sits.
MAX Zero Horizon
Flat canopy, zero vertical profile, maximum overhead shade and no intrusion on the view. The minimalist option in the family.
MAX Crescent
Sweeping curves reaching further than a standard canopy thanks to Tuuci’s V-MAX strut design. A contemporary reading of a traditional shape.
MAX F-1
Tuuci’s most durable and wind-resistant design. High-tension stainless steel reinforcement cables, Armor-Wall aluminium construction and tensioned stainless pocket construction.
MAX Northstar Nautical Teak
Teak drawn from sailing architecture, with the detailing to match. A refined take on the teak parasol, and the most traditional silhouette in the range.
MAX Nautical Teak
The same nautical language, with a reinforced mast carrying an aluminium spine for added strength. Teak appearance, engineered structure.
