Hubs
The Heart of the Machine
At the center of every umbrella lies engineering that must work flawlessly, day after day, season after season. Our hubs aren’t just functional components—they’re precision-crafted from the finest materials, designed specifically for each collection, and built to endure decades of use while maintaining the smooth operation that defines the Santa Barbara experience.
This is where form meets function, where beauty serves performance.
The Workhorse of the Umbrella
The upper stationary hub and lower sliding hub work together to make a Santa Barbara umbrella function flawlessly and beautifully.
Crafted, Not Manufactured
Each hub is crafted from premium hardwood, aluminum, stainless steel, or brass—never plastic. These durable, organic materials ensure your umbrella's heart beats strong for decades to come.
