Our Story
Founded in 2009, Basil Bangs designs premium outdoor homewares that inspire the imagination and enrich life in nature.
Headed up by husband-and-wife duo, Mike Durante and Krista Huebner, Basil Bangs is guided by the desire to make timeless collections that celebrate the vibrant energy of summer while enhancing daily rhythms.
Not only for the home and beach, Basil Bangs proudly works with the trade and commercial sector, bringing sophisticated shade and custom designs to leading venues worldwide.
With a focus on superior materials, bold geometries and uncompromising quality, the company has established a creative legacy transforming art into practical coastal essentials to be enjoyed inside, outside and every day.
Le Pixel
Comprising of six designs, our very first collection of beach umbrellas was a celebration of bolt prints, vibrant colour and classic stripes. You might say that Basil Bangs made a bright statement from day one!
While our prints have evolved over time, our passion for colour remains, and our committment to quality has never wavered.
Featured here is our best selling print, Le Pixel.
The Love Rug
Inspired by the arrival of our own baby, our family of products also expanded to include our iconic Love Rug. Changing the game for picnics and playtime forever, our spill-proof, padded and printed rugs have remained popular for babes of all ages.
Go Large
For over 10years, we have been partnering with some of Australia's leading venues on creating beautiful shade.
Can you believe that when we started, there weren't many options for colours beyond white, black, grey and beige?
We are proud to be innovators in this space, pushing boundaries to provide colourful, saturated options that add beauty and colour to backyards and venues across Australia, and the world!
Pictured here is our first commercial venue, Watson's Bay Hotel, still a valued client today.
Great Art
We have always been inspired by artists, musicians and graphic designers, and are proud to have worked with artists like Ken Done, Louise Jones and Leah Bartholomew on beautiful designs for our beach umbrellas and picnic rugs.
We are proud to have been an innovator in this space and continue to partner with creative designers on shaping unique and special outdoor spaces.

We are constantly iterating, improving our materials and working on our finishes to keep delivering outstanding products that make your time outside even better.
We acknowledge the traditional owners of country throughout Australia and their continuing connection to land, culture and community. We pay our respects to elders past and present.
