Duck
Duck: a compact, rounded cassette.
A slim extruded-aluminium cassette with soft, rounded lines that wraps the fabric completely when the awning is closed.
Small footprint, full protection
Projections from 1.5 to 3 m and widths from 2.4 to 5.9 m, fixed to the wall or the ceiling.
Features
The powder-coated cassette shields the fabric from weather and pollution, so it lasts longer and stays clean. Its playful, compact shape fits modern and traditional facades alike.
Closed cassette
When retracted, the fabric and arms disappear into the rounded box; only a neat cylinder remains on the wall.
Wall or ceiling
Brackets for both fixings make Duck easy to place under balconies, eaves or a plain wall.
Awarded design
Duck is one of the models in the range recognised at international design awards.
Duck
Homes, terraces and decks that need shade without a bulky box.
