Creating Comfortable Staff Spaces That Work Outdoors

Large corporate environments need outdoor areas that are more than just functional — they should encourage staff to step outside, take breaks, and connect. The Nova Heavy Duty Umbrella by Instant Shade Umbrellas is designed to do exactly that.

Perfect for covering large outdoor eating and breakout areas, the Nova HD delivers exceptional shade coverage with the strength and reliability required for high‑use commercial settings.

As seen here, the Nova HD transforms open courtyards into usable, inviting spaces — allowing staff to enjoy outdoor lunch areas comfortably throughout the day.

With beautiful Autumn weather in Melbourne this weekend, it’s the perfect excuse to visit the newly opened Onda Restaurant in Sorrento.

Thoughtfully designed and full of coastal charm, Onda Sorrento's outdoor area is made for long, relaxed lunches and sunset dinners.

We loved working with the team at Searoad Ferries to fit out the space with custom‑branded 2m Café Series umbrellas, complete with a classic scalloped valance — delivering practical shade while adding a refined, welcoming touch to the destination.

Open every day from 7.30am til late, pop in for daily special, fresh seafood or wood oven pizzas!
