Entry Description

Nimbus — a lightweight, durable, and repairable umbrella made from a single material, TPU — rethinks the failures of typical umbrellas that render them useless. Its inflatable form replaces metal ribs, creating a stable canopy powered by air from the handle pump. After use, it deflates neatly, eliminating the need for wet storage. An LCA report showed a 99% improvement over standard umbrellas, proving Nimbus to be a lasting and sustainable companion.
