Rain or shine, any day is a good day to use this umbrella.
Makers Design Complicity and Usual Design came together with a concept to create an umbrella that would give the impression and feel of taking cover from the elements under the boughs of trees, be it rain or relentless sunshine.
Umbrellas typically only make an appearance on dreary, rainy days, but the right kind of umbrella can provide a break from the hot sun as well, and with this foliage umbrella, the shadow it creates will make you feel as if you are standing under the sprawling branches of a tree, the sunlight leaking through the leaves.
A wooden handle completes the “tree” look. The vinyl umbrella measures 50 centimeters (approximately 20 inches), and is being sold for 2,999 yen (US$27.45).
