Bamboo Umbrella
The Brelli Umbrella
An umbrella is not given a lot of thought until we need it. How many times during a rainstorm do we see the discarded skeletons of collapsed metal and fabric? Sometimes we need to look back at traditional methods and designs to see if new technologies are actually better.
The Brelli Umbrella replaces the traditional lacquered paper canopy bamboo umbrella with a bio-degradable plasic film canopy. Light and flexible, bamboo is actually superior to steel in strong winds. The bamboo framework, refined over centuries, appeals to all the senses -- visually slender and graceful, smooth to the touch, fragrant when wet, and mellow sounding when struck. All compostable when its useful life is over.
