Conceptual designer Mikhail Belyaev once again creates something that will hopefully be a staple in future architecture and design with the Lampbrella.
Rather than dreading the lack of umbrella when storm clouds amass, the Lampbrella makes any nearby streetlight a local shelter against the falling rain. The concept design involves water detection and motion sensing capabilities which trigger the opening and closing of the umbrella. The design would be a great addition to any futuristic society, as would Mikhail's other fantastic concepts.
The world according to Belyaev would be a place where design exudes sophistication, functionality and social interaction. What could make for a beautiful "how we met story" than coming together and sharing the space under a Lampbrella while waiting for the storm to pass. Romance and futurism can go hand in hand.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Smart Streetlight Design
- There is an opportunity to create streetlights that are not just for lighting, but also for shelter and convenience purposes.
- Integration of Technology in Everyday Objects
- There is an opportunity to incorporate technology with everyday objects, like umbrellas, to improve functionality.
- Public Space Interaction Design
- Designing public spaces to encourage social interaction like sharing shelter under the Lamprella has potential for future urban planning.
Sectors Adopting This
- Urban Planning
- Urban planning professionals can explore incorporating smart streetlight designs as part of city infrastructure.
- Smart Technology
- Smart umbrella manufacturers can look into integrating smart technology features like water detection and motion sensing for automatic opening and closing of the umbrella.
- Outdoor Furniture and Design
- Manufacturers of outdoor furniture can consider incorporating tech and functionality features to their products for added convenience and function like the Lampbrella design.
