Sweet November Umbrella

Posted on March 10, 2006 Under Gadgetry

There really is no feeling like walking in the rain, but being soaking wet and cold deters all, but a few. Designers Silja Kaeser and Jessica Müller-Wallraf of Tisch5 have created "A little bit of Poetry in the Daily Grey" with the Sweet November Umbrella, allowing the rest of us to join them, comfortably mind you, in the rain. The translucent umbrella is bordered with small lights, softly illuminating the water drops and you at night. Silja and Jessica won the Nachlux Award (1st prize) for lighting in the European Innovation Competition for their creative design.
