In a context where exterior architecture is increasingly seeking a balance between design, performance and sustainability, new solutions are emerging that rethink traditional materials. CocoShade is one of them.
It is a solar protection proposal developed from coconut fiber, a material of natural origin that introduces a different way of understanding exterior shading: more organic, more integrated into the environment and aligned with current requirements.
A material that breathes with the environment
Unlike conventional technical fabrics, CocoShade is based on an open grid structure that allows air to pass through naturally. This reduces heat build-up and promotes the creation of cooler and more comfortable outdoor spaces, without the need for additional solutions.
The result is a light and dynamic shadow, which accompanies the environment rather than imposing itself.
The use of coconut fiber goes beyond aesthetics. Its performance against humidity and prolonged exposure makes it a reliable option for outdoor applications. Moreover, since it is a 100% natural material, its evolution over time is part of its value: the shade changes progressively, integrating itself naturally into the landscape.
Applications
CocoShade is presented as a solution adaptable to different shading formats, which broadens its possibilities in outdoor projects:
- Tensioned sails (triangular, square or rectangular)
- Light shading structures
- Outdoor spaces in hospitality and catering
- Landscape projects and chill-out areas
Its ease of installation and structural behavior allow it to be integrated into both temporary and permanent interventions.
Characteristics
CocoShade has attributes that position it as a solid alternative in the sun protection sector:
- High resistance for outdoor use
- Sustainable and biodegradable material
- Breathable structure for improved thermal comfort
- Versatility in different types of projects
- Ready-to-install system (loops included)
A new direction in exterior shading
The evolution of the sector points towards materials that not only fulfill a function, but also provide value in terms of sustainability, integration and user experience.
CocoShade responds to this trend with a proposal that connects nature and architecture, offering a more coherent and contemporary way of working with exterior shading.
