MoMA Sky Umbrella Collapsible Automatic
The iconic MoMA Sky umbrella, designed by Tibor Kalman, is world-famous for its positive vibes.
Seen from the outside, one has the impression that you are carrying a normal black umbrella, but on the inside, you are in for a surprise. Even during the most torrential rain, lucky Sky umbrella owners have a friendly blue sky with fair-weather clouds above them and thus most likely a smile on their face.
And when others see someone with a Sky Umbrella, the reactions are always the same, a friendly smile is returned, and a conversation is quickly started.
This version of the Sky Umbrella with the sky printed onto the inside is a practical pocket umbrella. The canopy opens and closes automatically and it can be stored away in its sleeve in no time.
