A full -fledged fashion object

However, many opportunities allow you to go even further in originality, to express your singularity, to assert your style or even to send a message during a special event. Choosing an unusual form of umbrella is then an excellent way to attract attention, by associating shape and symbol. The best example is undoubtedly the heart-shaped umbrella, perfectly in the theme of Valentine's Day, a marriage proposal or a happy event ...

When the shape of the umbrella changes the situation

In terms of efficiency, the shape of the round umbrella has largely proven itself. Practical, ergonomic and comfortable, this elegant and versatile model has experienced a well -deserved success since its creation. Right or retractable, with manual or automatic opening, it easily adapts to the needs and lifestyles of each.

On the other hand, an original form of umbrella can have a significant impact on its functional characteristics. This is the case of the formal form, which very effectively protects the head and the bust of the rain drops, while reducing the risk of accident thanks to its whales oriented downwards. More innovative, the form of asymmetrical umbrella allows to gain space in the shelter thanks to an eccentric mast, but on the other hand limits the wind to the wind. Finally, which appeared a few years ago, the reverse umbrella offers to end the inconvenience that a wet umbrella could cause indoors.

Progress in the field of design and materials today make it possible to design reliable, durable and fairly robust models to stand up to large gusts. But with regard to resistance in extreme climatic conditions, nothing beats the tradition of round umbrella ... at least for the moment. The creations of the Manufacture Le Parapluie de Cherbourg also display excellent performance, with a model of umbrella designed to resist gusts reaching 155 km/h!

Pagoda umbrella

Particularly refined, the pagoda umbrella belongs to the category of round umbrellas. A bit apart but very elegant, it is distinguished from classic models by its curved lines and its resolutely oriental spirit. His secret lies in the design of his canvas, cut from a pattern different from classic round models. Once sewn and assembled on the umbrella, the different parts of canvas go up very high and point on its mast, sometimes dressing it to its end. The most sophisticated pagodic umbrella models are generally equipped with a large number of whales, for a visual effect while curves and scrolls.

The reverse umbrella

Open, an inverted umbrella goes relatively unnoticed, but once closed, its appearance is amazing when it is unknown its particularity. The originality of this type of model does not reside in the shape of the umbrella, but rather in the design of its canvas and its opening and closing system. Designed to limit water flow after use, this umbrella closes on its damp side, preventing the wet canvas from possibly wetting the floor once it is inside.
