From the first glass during harvest to the last summer night — the Type E umbrella has been in daily use at the Weingut am Stein winery for over ten years. And without compromise: weather-resistant, stylish, and technically refined.

What makes this project special is the canopy made of PTFE special fabric. This high-tech material turns the umbrella into a true all-rounder. It is extremely UV-resistant, self-cleaning, and ensures a permanently elegant appearance — even under intensive use in the hospitality sector.

Kinematic Construction for Maximum Functionality

Thanks to its sophisticated kinematic design, the umbrella can be easily opened and closed even at large spans. The mechanism is low-maintenance, durable, and perfectly engineered for continuous professional use — a decisive advantage for versatile umbrellas designed for flexible application.

“We didn’t want a standard umbrella — we wanted a solution that matched our demand for quality, design, and functionality. The Type E delivers exactly that — and has become indispensable for us.”
– Ludwig Knoll, Owner, Weingut am Stein

Whether during harvest, the WEIN AM STEIN Festival, wine tastings, or the daily operation of the vinotheque — the tulip umbrella with PTFE canopy has long become more than just sun protection: it is part of the winery’s identity.
