"UMBRELLA+ is a concept that revisits the umbrella stand by moving it onto the wall. It is a horizontal cylinder that receives the folded umbrella, intersected by a vertical wooden element that acts as a hook for bags or coats. The T-shaped gesture pulls the umbrella into your field of view at entry height, merging storage and hanging into one coherent system."
"Getting ready to leave, you grab your coat, loop your bag onto the vertical bar, and the umbrella is right there in the same reach, tucked into the tube or hanging by its handle. Because it sits in the same visual band as the things you already check before walking out, you are less likely to leave it behind. The object rewires the routine by placing the umbrella where your hand already goes."
"Coming back wet, the umbrella slides into the tube, where internal ribbing gives the fabric somewhere to rest without collapsing and lets air circulate. It is not a sealed drip tray, so some water may reach the floor, but the design assumes the umbrella is mostly shaken off before it goes inside, which is already part of most people's entry ritual anyway."
UMBRELLA+ relocates umbrella storage from the floor to a wall-mounted horizontal cylinder intersected by a vertical wooden bar. The T-shaped form positions the umbrella at entry height and combines hanging for bags or coats with umbrella storage. The placement puts the umbrella in the same visual band as other items checked before leaving, reducing the chance of leaving it behind. Internal ribbing supports wet umbrellas and allows air circulation while accepting some water on the floor. Material and color options let the object read as a neutral background or a deliberate accent. The design accommodates one umbrella plus a bag or coat.
