Jardinico
Belgian shade specialist and outdoor furniture house: precision-engineered parasols paired with teak and rope furniture, read for the US buyer.
A shade-first house with roots in craft.
Jardinico was founded in 1999 in Harelbeke, Belgium, when Bruno Vandeputte shifted a family textile business toward premium garden cushions, then moved into parasols from 2000. By 2016, the operation had separated into two sibling companies: Jardinico Parasols (Harelbeke), led by Bruno Vandeputte, focuses on shade systems and outdoor furniture; Jardinico Cushions (Avelgem), led by his brother Bram Vandeputte, supplies upholstered components. Eighty percent of Jardinico Parasols' production is exported, with more than half sold outside Europe.
The furniture range was introduced in 2018 and has grown into a full complement to the shade catalogue, spanning modular lounge seating, teak-and-rope dining sets, and concrete-accented occasional pieces. For US buyers, collections reach the market through Jardinico USA, based in the United States, with lead times that vary by line and configuration.
A selection of lines.
Tatami
A fully upholstered modular lounge set on a teak frame, with weatherproof, stain-repellent cushions in an extensive fabric range. Pieces include lounge chairs, corner sofas, a round modular sofa and a sunlounger.
Tatami
In-house design, JardinicoTatami is Jardinico's flagship modular lounge collection, introduced as part of the furniture range that launched in 2018. Its teak frame is paired with fully upholstered seating in weatherproof fabrics, with rounded shapes that signal warmth rather than hard architectural lines. A wide configuration range – corner pieces, middle units, round sofas, daybeds and an ottoman – makes it adaptable to terraces and pool surrounds of different scales.
Cushion fabrics are weatherproof, stain-repellent and UV-resistant, sourced from the company's sister operation, Jardinico Cushions. The collection reflects the vertical integration of the two Vandeputte family branches: shade systems and upholstery developed side by side from the same West Flemish textile tradition.
What the pieces are made of.
Jardinico's parasol lines are built on powder-coated aluminium frames, with the premium Caractère/JCP series featuring 3 mm profile thickness and Sunbrella® PLUS Marine solution-dyed acrylic canopies. The Attitude range uses aluminium frames with 100% solution-dyed polyester canopies. Furniture uses FSC-quality teak across the Tatami, Kaia and Nature lines, hand-woven synthetic rope in the Kaia and Tondo collections, and a lime-and-concrete blend for Como occasional pieces.
