Being recognised by an authoritative magazine in the Costa Smeralda landscape is always a special moment. When we discovered that COAST IS HOME, the lifestyle magazine dedicated to life on the coasts of Sardinia, cited us as a reference for quality shade sails, it was a recognition that added further value to over thirty years of artisan work.
The article, titled "Restar Nell'Ombra / Seeking the Shade", was published on pages 086-088 of the magazine and accompanied by photographs by photographer Tiziano Canu. The piece explores the theme of shading in the outdoor spaces of Costa Smeralda villas, a fundamental aspect of outdoor living in Sardinia during the summer months.
Shade as a design element
In Costa Smeralda, living outdoors is not optional: it's a lifestyle. But the Sardinian sun, however wonderful, requires intelligent solutions to create shaded areas that are both functional and aesthetically refined. This is exactly the theme the magazine wanted to explore, telling how shade sails have become a full-fledged architectural element.
The article highlighted how the best installations are not simple sheets stretched between two poles, but true custom-designed structures, made with nautical-derived materials and capable of withstanding the mistral that characterises summers in Gallura.
A recognition of artisan work
Within the report, WSAIL Sardegna was recommended as the go-to reference for anyone seeking quality shade sails in Costa Smeralda. This is not advertising: it's an editorial recognition born from reputation built in the field, project after project, villa after villa.
This makes us particularly proud because it confirms our philosophy: applying nautical sailmaking expertise to the world of outdoor architecture. The same techniques we use to make racing sails — precision in cutting, choice of technical fabrics, care in stitching — are those we bring to every textile structure we install in villas and outdoor spaces across Sardinia.
