"There is something quietly poetic about the moment you return indoors after the rain. Shoes pause at the threshold, umbrellas drip in silence, and the air briefly carries that unmistakable scent of wet earth. Yet in most homes and public spaces, this moment is interrupted by clutter. Umbrellas are stacked awkwardly in corners, water pools on the floor, and metal stands tip or rust over time. Aghsan enters this overlooked scene not simply as a solution but as a reimagining of the experience itself."
"What truly sets Aghsan apart is how it engages the senses. At the base of the stand lies a water-sensitive aromatic sponge. As rainwater drips from umbrellas, it is absorbed into this layer, triggering the release of a subtle, refreshing fragrance inspired by rainfall. The result is a soft, calming scent that fills the entryway, echoing the feeling of stepping outside just after a storm. Rain is no longer treated as an inconvenience but as part of the atmosphere of the space."
Aghsan is an umbrella stand designed around a branching motif that holds umbrellas individually to promote natural drying and visual organization. The structure mimics entwined limbs, balancing movement with deliberate restraint to avoid visual chaos. A water-sensitive aromatic sponge at the base absorbs drips and releases a subtle fragrance reminiscent of rainfall. The released scent fills the entryway with a soft, calming atmosphere that evokes the moment after a storm. The design reframes rainwater from an inconvenience into an intentional sensory element. Durable materials and separated storage reduce pooling, tipping, and rust associated with conventional stands.
