Frou Frou Outdoor Umbrella – The Iconic Instagram-Worthy Shade
Transform your outdoor space into a photo-ready paradise with the Frou Frou Umbrella—a designer shade solution that blends playful movement with luxurious form. Beloved by boutique hotels, luxury resorts, and hospitality venues around the world, this uniquely styled parasol is more than sun protection—it's a statement piece and an organic social media magnet.
Crafted by Belgian designer Davy Grosemans for Symo Parasols, the Frou Frou takes inspiration from traditional raffia umbrellas seen in exotic beach destinations. Its signature rustling fringe—made from durable polypropylene raffia—dances in the wind, casting kinetic shadows and creating a calming sound reminiscent of ocean breezes or swaying wheat fields.
