Lean On Me
Someone has rightly said that design need not be complicated, if you peel the layers of fluff, you will be left with a clear perception of good design. The ‘Lean-able Umbrella’ follows this thought and is a very intuitive and simple design. The handle end has been redesigned with end points that feature a non-slip silicon pad. People tend to lean their umbrellas against the wall, and this design addresses that situation effectively.
Lean-able Umbrella is a 2012 iF Design Talents entry.
Designers: Cheol Woong Seo and Jae Hee Park

This is one of those now why didn’t I think of that moments! I don’t know how many times I’ve put my umbrella up against a wall only to have it slide down and fall over.

Interesting idea. But by implementing this wall leaning feature through this form, the designers has taken away the ‘hook’ feature, which can come in handy in certain and more situations.
