At lunch, one is enough. In the evening, open the other three. Each arm has its own independent gas piston: one gesture, it opens and closes in seconds.
The most organised way to cover 36 square metres is a single pole that opens like a cross.
At lunch, one is enough. In the evening, open the other three. Each arm has its own independent gas piston: one gesture, it opens and closes in seconds.
The most organised way to cover 36 square metres is a single pole that opens like a cross.
Four independent pistons: open only the panels you need, each in seconds. One base, one anchor point, 36 m² neatly arranged at the cardinal points.
A lever at the base rotates the entire structure: the four panels turn together, the cross changes orientation without losing its geometry.
Square aluminium column 110×110 mm; calibrated cross-section designed to withstand the simultaneous tension of four cantilevered arms.
Stitching engineered at tension points. The airvent releases wind pressure from above. The velcro keeps each arm closed with no loose flaps.
Solution-dyed acrylic fabric 260 gsm, UPF 50+, water-repellent, top airvent. The same quality as the single Cygnus, on every panel.
Panel and frame combinations designed by the Maanta Style Centre, our in-house design studio in Italy. Curated for contract use, not left to chance.

For the Qadro, we recommend having at least two people on hand, or entrusting the installation to experienced operators and requesting professional technical assistance. The central pole weighs nearly 22 kg gross in its packaging, each canopy head adds a further 20 kg, and assembling the four arms onto the pole requires careful coordination between at least two people.
Technically yes, if the flooring can support a fixed anchor or 100 kg of distributed ballast, and if the building's regulations allow a 6×6 m parasol. In practice, the Qadro is more of a hospitality solution than a residential one.
No: the Qadro upright (110×110 mm) differs from the Duo upright (75×124 mm) and handles four attachment points instead of two. Upgrading requires a complete replacement of the structural components.
Yes. There is a single lever at the base of the central pole: when you rotate it, the entire pole turns with the four arms, keeping the four-panel cross in any orientation you choose. The same 360° rotation as the single Cygnus, applied to a cross-shaped geometry.
Acrishade fabrics are water-repellent and can handle light showers. If prolonged rain or winds above 25 km/h are forecast, fold in the four arms: the four perimeter Velcro straps keep them neatly secured along the upright.
The Cygnus Single features one shade sail (3×3 m, 9 m²), the Duo has two shade sails side by side on the same pole (3×6 m, 18 m²), and the Qadro has four shade sails arranged in a cross pattern on the central pole (6×6 m, 36 m²). All three share the same mechanism (gas piston, 360° pole rotation) and fabric, with an increasing footprint and coverage area.
Each arm has its own independent piston. Open the ones you need, leave the others closed, or open all of them in just a few seconds each. The same technology used in car tailgates, multiplied by four.
The fabrics block over 98% of UV rays. This is the highest rating on the UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) scale: the equivalent of a factor 50+ sunscreen, working constantly for as long as you stay underneath.
It is a single opening at the top of each panel, without a flap. When wind gets underneath the canopy, the airvent lets it escape from above: this reduces pressure and lowers the risk of the awning flipping over.
Water-repellent. Acrishade repels water and holds up against heavy showers, but it is not a total barrier: during prolonged or heavy rainfall, some seepage is possible.
The rotation applies to the central pole, not to the individual shade sails. There is a single lever at the base that releases the pole; you rotate it to the desired position and the four arms align together. The cross maintains its geometry — only the direction changes.
Up to 25 km/h. Above this threshold, we recommend closing all four arms: the gas piston-assisted closure is quick, even before a sudden storm.
Two combinations: Graphite fabric with Anthracite frame, White fabric with Matt Anodizing frame. The Qadro colour palette is carefully curated to suit the contract segment it is designed for.
Between 2 and 3 hours the first time, including fitting the fixed anchor and assembling the four arms onto the upright pole. Subsequent seasonal openings and closings are just a matter of minutes.
Yes, at least two. For the Qadro, we ideally recommend three people during the raising of the central pole and the fixing of the arms. Operator safety is our top priority.
Each gas piston operates independently. Simply release only the arms you need and leave the others closed. The same applies when closing: just a few seconds per arm.
Yes. Use lukewarm water, a mild soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid solvents and high-pressure washers. Leave the shade cloths to dry fully open, in the shade.
If the area is sheltered, it is not essential. For positions exposed to winter winds or snowfall, we recommend removing the four parasol heads (the upright can remain anchored) to reduce wind resistance.
7 years on the frame (upright post, four arms, gas pistons, rotation levers, aluminium). 3 years on the fabrics (stitching, Acrishade fabric, textile accessories).
Yes. You have 14 days from the date of receipt to exercise your right of withdrawal. The product must be returned in its original condition and in the 5 original packaging.
Open the parcels in front of the courier where possible. If you notice any external damage, accept the delivery with reservation. Photograph both the packaging and the product, then send everything to us within 48 hours: we will handle the claim directly with DHL.
No, we do not sell individual canopies, individual pistons, or individual replacement umbrella heads for Cygnus Qadro.
