People nowadays take daily life products more and more for granted. They assume that products with an certain appearance have a certain functionality.This cardboard umbrella questions this behavior.

No questions are asked about the design, functionality or material of for example an umbrella. Everybody assumes that a products that looks like an umbrella has the functionality of keeping you dry during rain.

With help of this cardboard umbrella I provoke people to think a step further about daily life products. The combination of material and function are meant to stimulate people to ask questions. The umbrella is not meant as an answer to a question or a problem, it’s main function is not keeping you dry, it is meant as a question transformed into a product.
