Morella by Andrew Tan, an industrial designer based in London, United Kingdom, is a dual cup holder that is meant to be attached to umbrellas. Although the concept isn't necessarily new, this design is particularly useful. Not only does it boast two holders so that people can generously help a friend out at the same time, it rotates so that not a drip of drink is spilled when a person open or closes the umbrella.
Of course, the best feature of Morella by Andrew Tan is the fact that it frees people's hands so that they can hold a drink and their umbrella while performing other tasks on the go such as taking a call. It is available in a variety of colors.
