From Instability to Interaction.
Meet Bouncer. The guardian of your hallway, and always ready at the door. Making sure no drops, no puddles, no mess escapes their watch. Because whatever the weather, it will bounce back.
Most umbrella holders today are lightweight, tall and easily tipped over when you drop in a wet umbrella. This concept explores that exact moment; the act of falling, and turns it into a feature rather than a flaw. Through kinetic movement, the design transforms instability into interaction, creating a small, everyday moment that feels playful, engaging, and unique each time you use it.
Made for Everyday Living.
Bouncer’s powder-coated metal finish ensures durability while maintaining a clean, refined look. With multiple color options, it’s easy to match with almost any interior style. The bars are positioned to hold umbrellas of any size while sitting low enough for quick, intuitive access on a rainy day. Beyond umbrellas, they also add extra usability by offering a place to hang everyday items like a shoespoon, small umbrella hooks, or even a pair of wet socks after an enthusiastic jump in a puddle.
Steady, no matter how much it sways.
The rounded, weighted base gives Bouncer a reassuring sense of stability and keeps it firmly planted on the floor. Its center of gravity naturally pulls it back into an upright position, creating a gentle, characteristic motion when touched.
