Umbrella Stand by Eva Schildt

This is one umbrella stand that garners notice...

"Umbrella Stand, by Eva Schildt, is unique as it is both a functional design piece and a sculpture. Inspired by the artist Yves Klein, Eva uses the sponge, which is closely related to the theme of water, as a base. The frame is made of blue steel, which is an important element of the design process. The austerity of the steel is a perfect contrast to the softness of the sponge and the blue colour represents both water and the sky."
