I'm not sure what it's like where you are, but today, it has rained pretty much all day here. Which means umbrellas and somewhere to store them – enter the Kartell space age Umbrella Stand.
Designed by Gino Colombini, it's a cylindrical, injection moulded container that's both eye-catching and indestructible.

Various colours, retailing for £81.
