Aki Umbrella Stand

The Aki umbrella stand was designed by Rodolfo Bonetto for Italian manufacturing company B-Line.

B-Line has been producing quality furniture since 1999 when the company was established by revisiting historic designs like the Boby trolley by Joe Colombo. Rodolfo Bonetto left a successful career as a jazz drummer to concentrate on industrial design, becoming a successful, award-winning, internationally acclaimed designer. The Aki umbrella stand is one of Rodolfo Bonettos world famous designs, effortlessly combining functionality and minimalistic style.

Aki is the Japanese term for Autumn and is an apt name for an umbrella stand. Manufactured in polyethylene via the roto-moulding process, the substrate is strong, durable and suitable for outdoor use. Secure in its geometry with four round apertures, the stand is a prudent use of space and comes in a multitude of exuberant colours. The Aki stand measures 360 x 480 x 85 mm and weighs 4 kilos offering plenty of space for umbrellas and walking sticks. It's a truly original product which will fit snuggly in the entrance way of any household adding style and practicality to the home.
