Gingko eco-brolly

Gingko is a compact, windproof, colourful, light, recyclable, customisable, budget-priced designer umbrella: even more – it’s the first umbrella made entirely of polypropylene, which makes it not only very light in weight but also flexible, wind and water resistant, able to cope with the strongest wind and rainwithout breaking or bending! Injection moulding allowed the number of parts commonly used in the manufacture of an umbrella to be reduced by 80%, making it stronger, but also easier to produce and assemble. This eco-design umbrella was designed and developed in Italy by F. Venturi, G. Savalli and M. Righi with funding from the Milan Polytechnic Foundation. It has won numerous awards in international design competitions, including the prestigious James Dyson Award.
