This piece provides an crisp solution to umbrella storage, and is a must have for any design-conscious home. Josef Hoffmann was born in the Czech Republic in 1870, and would go on to be influential in the field of design, despite training as an architect.

The Italian design company Bieffeplast won the rights to reproduce his work in the 1970s, and this particular piece was one of them. MATERIALS & TECHNIQUES: Powder-coated metal.
