BarberOsgerby’s aim was to create a piece that works perfectly for both long or compact umbrellas. Its triangular shape fits well in any position in the home.
A simple series of holes enables open or closed umbrellas of any size to be popped in without a problem. A happy accident is that it is also the perfect shape for wine bottles.
