The Design Process
The Tuuci Urban Garden Planters Collection will live comfortably in a modern or traditional environment and easily cross from hospitality and commercial projects to residential environments. The Mainland Planters are available in multiple sizes, shapes, and screen options that can be paired to create varying degrees of privacy as well as adjustable spaces. The addition of casters gives increased flexibility for quick adjustments to flex space to create more expansive location for larger groups or smaller, more intimate clusters for a more personal experience. The blend of form and function speaks to the core elements of a Tuuci product that must deliver a sense of intentional design with high performance. The construction stems from our marine roots and with a generous 5-year warranty, all components are designed to endure fierce coastal environments.

Founder and CEO, Dougan Clarke, began Tuuci with a singular vision: to create the most durable, stylish and functionally simplistic shade equipment in the world. Dougan Clarke further wanted to design and create shade products based on a modular system, which simplifies maintenance and increase resilience to the outdoor elements. These visions have made Tuuci one of the leading brands in high-end shade products. What started ten years ago with the design of the first mold for the classic Ocean Master umbrella, has grown into a global operation recognized as one of the leader in high end outdoor shade products. All of the Tuuci products are US made and the production facility is right here in South Florida. Today Tuuci offers a wide range of products from classic umbrellas to pavilions and privacy lounges. The styles vary from contemporary to vintage, but always with a fun, comfortable and leisurely living in mind. "It is my goal to create an intimate relationship between TUUCI's shade architecture pieces and the environments in which they exist", says Dougan Clarke, Founder and CEO. With form and function being the foundation of their innovation, Tuuci has won the most Prestigious design awards available to the industry: Design Excellence Awards (2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2008), the Lillian B. Winchester Best of Show at the International Casual Furniture Market 2001 and 2005, the Hospitality Design Award 2001, Editor's Choice Award for Best New Product 2004, Best of Boutique Award 2004, and 2008 International Achievement Award from IFAI, among other merits.
