Umbrella Swings

The Pendurella by Mac Funamizu Dries Off Your Rain Gear

The Pendurella concept combines an umbrella stand with a pendulum toy that swings your umbrellas around until they are dry.

As the umbrellas swing around in the Pendurella, the water gets stored in a base collector so there is no mess to clean up later.

The Pendurella can be very useful for those rainy spring months in the city.

Implications - The umbrella, despite its widespread use in modern history, has not received a major design upgrade. Recognizing this, savvy product designers are reworking umbrella stands in an attempt to eradicate the most persistent aftereffects of umbrella use, such as storage issues and excess water, to appeal to commercial buildings, restaurants and other public places where umbrellas are stored en masse.

Revamped Umbrella Stands
Innovative designers are reimagining umbrella stands to address storage and water-related issues, making them perfect for commercial buildings and public places with large umbrella collections.
Efficiency in Umbrella Drying
New concepts like the Pendurella aim to efficiently dry umbrellas while minimizing mess, offering opportunities for businesses in the umbrella industry to differentiate their products.
Enhanced Umbrella Design
With a lack of significant design advancements for umbrellas, there is potential for disruption in the industry by creating more functional and user-friendly designs.
