Inconspicuous Umbrella Holders

The Oval Umbrella Stand by Yamazaki is Stylishly Modern

— January 10, 2017 — Art & Design
While the majority of umbrella holders are intended to simply be a utilitarian place to keep rain gear, the Oval Umbrella Stand by Yamazaki aims to be a stylish alternative. Designed with a minimalistic aesthetic, the Oval Umbrella Stand by Yamazaki is available in white and black color options and is crafted from ABS resin and steel. This makes it a sturdy piece of home decor that won't tip over or become unbalanced when up to four umbrellas are placed within the unit.

The Oval Umbrella Stand by Yamazaki captures water that drips off of umbrellas to keep the floor clean, while the slim design of the unit is capable being hidden against a wall. The umbrella holders keep umbrellas big and small sectioned from one another to make them quick to pull out and use.
