Concept
“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 threedimensional, 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!”

Barber & Osgerby
United Kingdom
Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby founded their eponymous studio in 1996 after graduating with Master’s degrees in Architecture from The Royal College of Art in London. From their first studio in Trellick Tower in London, they designed their first piece, the Loop Table, produced by Isokon in 1997. Much of Barber and Osgerby’s early work involved the folding and shaping of sheet material, influenced by the white card that they had used frequently in architectural model making. Plywood and perspex were used in the development of the Pilot Table, 1999, and Stencil Screen, 2000.
