Umbrella Pot

umbrella potImagine coming in from the rain. Your collapsed umbrella is dripping wet with fresh rainwater and you’ve got to do something about it. The Umbrella Pot solves this predicament with a delightful twist. In a typical umbrella stand excess water drips to the bottom where it collects and perhaps evaporates over time. This fresh take on the umbrella stand utilizes that rainwater for the purpose of watering vegetation nestled neatly into the side of the stand.This white Tokoname ceramic, designed by Okamoto Kou will run you at least Â¥52 500 (CAD $515.16) and comes in a range of sizes but we’re guessing anybody with that kind of money for an umbrella stand doesn’t need to carry their own umbrella.

  1. Brilliant! It would be neat to plant some herbs in that, thus TRIPLING the functionality of it.

    That’s a fantastic idea. I imagine thyme or mint would do very well there. Good thinking.
