Polite Umbrella saves eyes

Ever had to navigate through a sea of umbrellas on a rainy day? It's a task that can potentially cause you to go blind, especially if you are tall and have everyone's brollies at your eye level. That wouldn't be a problem if everyone had a Polite Umbrella, a concept by designer JooYoun Paek. Pulling a dangling handle under this product's base will cause the canopy to change its shape. This makes the umbrella more compact, allowing the user to maneuver more efficiently without being a hazard to others around. This idea isn't in stores yet. So for now, wear a poncho if you want to avoid umbrella clashes.
