In the 70s, umbrella stands began to resemble bins. They’ve been haunted by this brutal intervention ever since. Perhaps we could label it an ‘endangered typology’ of complimentary furniture in need of a touch of colour
The plan: Gather discarded material from the streets of Barcelona. Manipulate this scrap to create one umbrella stand prototype a day (for two weeks). Pick an interesting result and translate it into a dignified concept suitable for small-batch, artisanal production.
Designed with nods to its origins in scrap, FUNNEL is an unfamiliar umbrella stand which celebrates the diversity and magic of craft. Happy to stand with and without an umbrella in place. Wheel thrown ceramic base, hand-lathed steel body and blown glass features.
