Project description
Inspired by Acer morrisonense, this folding umbrella captures the essence of native red maple trees. The canopy features the distinctive palmate silhouette of the leaves, with a striking red-to-green gradient that evokes the beauty of autumn foliage. The umbrella ribs are designed to mimic the delicate yet resilient structure of leaf veins, ensuring both flexibility and durability. The handle, crafted with geometric patterns resembling tree roots, offers a comfortable and natural grip. When opened, light filters through the leaf-patterned canopy, casting dappled shadows reminiscent of a tranquil walk beneath a maple forest. Blending functionality with artistry, this umbrella brings the serenity of nature to everyday life.
