A topographic ‘umbrella stand’ is nature inspired, precisely natural geographic topography mimicking milled contours of natural landscapes. Made of blocks of hardwood reveal convenient grooves for flush placement of the thin bent ply rails which gives structure to the holder. Depending on the heaviness of water pour, the grooves will fill with water creating little ponds, lakes or even flood the little landscape..

ella umbrella
Capturing dripping water from wet umbrellas and using it to grow grass. Ella creates a stimulating fun product to brighten up otherwise uninspiring entrance halls.
As water drips down from the wet umbrella, it flows down through a perforation into the base feeding the soil and allowing the grass to grow. The smaller container includes a fast growing grass seed.
