The Lumen Fold Series provides an innovative sunshade solution tailored for outdoor leisure scenarios. This series blends Eastern wisdom and intelligent technology, harmonizing aesthetic appeal with sustainability.

Drawing inspiration from the geometric rhythms of Chinese origami and the subtle tension of the round folding fan, this series combines traditional Eastern aesthetics with modern forms. By mimicking sunflowers' heliotropic movement, this series incorporates high-precision light sensors and micro-motors to perceive changes in sunlight in real time and adjust its canopy along the XY axis, thus ensuring optimal shading throughout the day. This innovation breaks the limitations of traditional sunshade umbrellas, such as passive or fixed-angle sun blocking.

The canopy is made from recycled polyester with a nano water- and stain-repellent coating, enhanced by a UV-sensitive color-changing layer that visually reminds users to protect against sun exposure. The built-in solar panel stores energy to power the smart adjustment of the umbrella during the day and ambient lighting at night without generating carbon emissions. Besides, this series supports three modes, including manual, remote, and app-based control, making it ideal for household and public leisure settings.

Centered on "Invisible Technology, Tangible Experience", this series adopts wood-grain textures and plain color schemes to convey Eastern aesthetics, seamlessly adapting to diverse cultural contexts. It serves as a smart companion in private spaces and as a community art installation in public areas. Additionally, its carbon-neutral design embodies its commitment to environmental protection, perfectly illustrating how design can empower both daily life and ecological sustainability.
