Umbrella stand

Charlotte Talbot

Prototype

Time was when a good umbrella stand was de rigeur in every hallway but you’d be hard pushed to dump your brolly in anything purpose built, let alone beautifully designed these days, and yet it rains more than ever. Step forward ECAL student Charlotte Talbot who showed a beautifully considered design for an umbrella stand at this year’s Salone. The circular oak holder is rooted to the floor with a single arm and held in place by a circular pool of concrete, which has a gentle dip in it to collect running water from your umbrella.
