Spazio
Part awning, part roller shade, Gibus’s Spazio operates via a motorized or manual roller mechanism that extends the textile outward to a second “feed” roller that further extends the canopy to create a protective vertical dropped shade at the front. The streamlined awning can be furnished with an LED strip on the front roller for direct illumination or on top of the arms for an indirect, ambient effect.
