The Poppins umbrella stand for Magis allows long and short umbrellas to be easily popped in and stowed when dashing in from the rain. Its compact size and triangular shape make for easy placement in an entryway or hallway.
“There are many kinds of umbrella stands, but the archetype is designed for traditional long umbrellas with a hooked handle.
Our intention was to create a three-dimensional, graphic piece that worked perfectly for both long and compact umbrellas.
The triangular shape was chosen because it fits well in any position in a room, including corners, and tessellates beautifully.
A simple series of holes enables furled or unfurled umbrellas of any size to be popped easily. Poppins feels both serious and playful; the glossy plastic emphasizes its waterproof qualities, while the form reminds us of a game – like the triangle used in billiards or snooker.
By happy coincidence it is also the perfect shape for wine bottles!”
