milled contours of natural landscapes create topographic voids to contain umbrellas and collect bodies of water.

topographic ‘umbrella stand’ by cmmnwlth

 

 

using voids to contain umbrellas and collect bodies of water, new york-based design studio cmmnwlth have developed a topographic ‘umbrella stand’ with milled contours of natural landscapes. solid blocks of hardwood receive inset grooves for flush placement of the thin bent ply rails – giving structure to the holder. on stormy days, excess liquids would fill the voids to create miniature a lake-like scenery.
