This umbrella stand brings together birch and brass in a structure composed of three solid birch pillars united by two hand-bent lamella loops. The particular lamella loops used in the creation of Umbrella Stand 115 require the strength of two people to bend, and come with a single seam. Fitted inside the triangular base, a brass pan catches any falling drops of rainwater. The brass and the birch has a beautiful deep patina. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
