The future shape of the folding umbrella

VISION of Knirps was born with the aim of creating an umbrella that coexists with nature. The future of folding umbrellas created by Knirps.

Folding umbrella VISION made using the most advanced materials that protect the environment. 100% biodegradable plastic is used for handles and ridges, PET bottle recycled fabric is used for umbrella fabric, and "PFC-free water-repellent antifouling coating ecorepel®" is applied to the fabric. The one-touch folding umbrella VISION is not only focused on the selection of materials, but also on convenience and safety.

One push to open and close

The one-touch folding umbrella VISION has an automatic opening and closing function. This is very convenient and can be easily opened with one hand, so even if your hands are occupied with luggage, you can respond smartly to sudden rain. In addition, the troublesome folding of the cloth part can be closed quickly with the touch of a button, so storage is easy. In addition to using lightweight yet highly flexible glass fiber for the ribs, the durable frame structure can withstand wind speeds of 120km / h (= wind speed 33.3m / sec).

VISION also takes safety into consideration. A safety structure "safety system" that prevents the shaft from unexpectedly popping out is adopted, and even if you stop pushing the shaft back by hand and release the hand, the shaft will not return to its original length. The one-touch folding umbrella VISION is a reliable ally even in situations where you cannot carry a long umbrella, such as when traveling or on a business trip. Choose it as a gift for those who like traveling, as a gift for families who always use vinyl umbrellas, or as a gift.

Speaking of folding umbrellas, Knirps

In Europe, Knirps means "folding umbrella", just as staplers are called staplers and adhesive tapes are called cellophane tapes. The first folding umbrella in the world was born in 1928. Knirps was the first in the world to commercialize what Hans Haupt of Germany devised as an "umbrella that fits in a pocket". Since then, it has been loved by many people for a long time and continues to run as a leading manufacturer of folding umbrellas.

Especially in Germany, which is my home country, people's lives are so pervasive that "Knirps" is written when "folding umbrella" is looked up in a dictionary. Folding umbrellas produced by Knirps attract many people with high quality, and even after many years since their birth, they continue to run as the top manufacturer of folding umbrellas. In addition to its excellent functionality, it has also received high praise in terms of design, and the "X1 X1" series won the "ISDA Award" in 2004 and the Good Design Award in 2005. There is a secret that has been loved by people all over the world for a long time in the sincere attitude of pursuing not only practicality but also beauty of appearance.
