About Tuuci
For nearly 30 years, Tuuci® has revolutionized outdoor living spaces with durable, innovative shade and furniture products featuring nautically inspired designs. Founded by Dougan Clarke in 1998, the Ultimate Umbrella Company, Inc., (simply known as “Tuuci”), was born from his seaside roots in Miami, where Clarke began his career as a marine outfitter for high performance yachts.
With a keen eye on design and a passion for form and function, Clarke applied his craftsmanship to the shade industry to create Tuuci’s unique brand of marine grade shade architecture. Today, Tuuci’s distinctive, award-winning shade designs, luxury outdoor furniture and shelter structures are experienced around the world and sought by leading design professionals within the commercial, hospitality, marine and residential design communities.
Globally headquartered in Miami, the company owns two additional manufacturing centers in Northern Europe and Southeast Asia, and operates showrooms in Miami, Chicago, Atlanta and The Netherlands.
Tuuci’s sense of community is a cornerstone of the company’s foundation, providing charitable outreach across a host of environmental and humanitarian concerns. The company’s mission is to help people live their best life outdoors through inspiring design, enduring performance, and convivial service.
