TUUCI founder Dougan Clarke cut his teeth outfitting boats in South Florida. Leaning on his knowledge of marine-grade materials and engineering techniques, 18 years ago the Coral Gables resident launched a collection of parasols, cabanas and lounges built to endure the coast’s corrosive elements after years of daily use. As pretty as they are practical, Clarke’s TUUCI products appear at many high-end properties around the world, and in our state at the 1 Hotel South Beach, the Parrot Key Hotel and the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne. The Miami-based company makes sustainability a top priority by recycling leftover frame materials and packaging. In addition, the umbrella maker supports environmental causes, including the Coastal Conservation Association and the Friends of Biscayne Bay Association. Not exclusive to businesses or designers, some product lines can be found at home furnishing stores across Florida. tuuci.com
