Umbrella Stands from Around the World

blue products, including an umbrella holder / stand

The rainy season has started in my part of the world - so it's time to look at umbrella stands once again. Let's start with the designs from Italy - including the umbrella stand from Bitossi (shown in the middle of the picture above); it's sold by Design Within Reach. (DWR calls it a "cylindrical vessel," but Bitossi calls it an umbrella holder.) When I first saw this, I thought how my mom would have loved that rich blue color.

umbrella stands in many colors - white, orange, black, green, red, brown

The Ombo umbrella stand by Com.p.ar is sold by Go Modern in London.

And one final Italian design is this pewter umbrella stand from Match, sold by Unica Home - and costing over $1,000.


Union Jack umbrella stand

This Union Jack umbrella stand comes from - you guessed it - the U.K. Update on Dec. 26, 2012: I'm no longer finding this product.

Teramoto Industrial Design Yard (TIDY), in Japan, gives us the TETTO, TETTO mini, and TETTO tall umbrella stands - that's the tall version above, sold by Rakuten. [via MoCo Loco]


seagrass umbrella holder

And finally, this seagrass umbrella holder was (probably) made in Indonesia, and comes to us from White Apple, in Canada.

These are stunning and varied -- as always, Jeri, you never fail to impress. The Elic and the Tetto are my favorites, but I think the Tetto wins for form and function, because the air can dry the brolly faster. Nifty!

Great assortment. Makes me want to add an umbrella stand in my foyer...guess I need a full size umbrella too. :)
