Presented in Hall 01 – B07, the company's stand was conceived as a sequence of scenic arches forming a continuous pathway, with a sea-view backdrop reinforcing the connection between architecture, landscape and open-air living.
The installation is centred on the theme "Where shade opens the view", reflecting the company's intention to position outdoor space as a place where design, light and environment interact. According to Scolaro, "When light meets shadow, the gaze slows, focuses and captures details that would otherwise remain invisible. It is in this interplay that the outdoor space takes on a more intense and conscious dimension."
This approach is expressed through the company's latest products, which combine engineering development with Italian craftsmanship and aesthetic detailing.
The main launch is Pagodaire, described as "a contemporary reinterpretation of the iconic pagoda parasol". The model draws on Mediterranean references while introducing a more architectural and functional format for premium exterior settings.
According to the company, Pagodaire is "a product with Mediterranean charm that evokes images of faraway lands". Its curved lines create a recognisable silhouette intended to shape outdoor areas with what Scolaro calls a romantic and timeless atmosphere.
Technically, the parasol uses a side-arm system that keeps the area beneath unobstructed, allowing the shaded footprint to remain fully usable. A gas-spring-assisted opening mechanism supports smooth operation, while a retractable closing system is designed to improve practicality in already furnished terraces and hospitality environments.

Scolaro said the balance between structure and lightness was central to the design. "Form and function find a precise balance: on one hand, structural solidity; on the other, a visual lightness that enhances its presence without overwhelming the space."
The company positions Pagodaire for restaurants, hotels, rooftops, lounges, resorts and other upscale outdoor venues seeking distinctive shading solutions.
"Made for Dolce Vita" is the concept behind the launch, with Scolaro describing Pagodaire as "a romantic and stylish outdoor parasol designed to create a unique atmosphere, perfect for spaces that want to stand out and for those who appreciate the value of time spent enjoying longer days and moments that linger in the memory."
With the debut, Scolaro strengthens its presence in the growing premium outdoor hospitality market, where flexible, design-led shelter solutions are increasingly in demand.
