While people have been busy inventing hands-free and more effective umbrellas for some time now, they’ve been ignoring one of the most basic problems: the umbrella has to be ever so perfectly propped up in the corner when you’re not using it. The Stay-brella tackles that issue. Thanks to the clever handle, the Stay-brella can stand up on its own when not in use. If you don’t want to stand it up, the handle also allows you to hang it from a table or prop it against a wall in a more stable manner. Unfortunately it looks like you’ll need to travel to Japan to purchase it as of now.
