KILLER UMBRELLA STAND

KILLER UMBRELLA STAND

Designed by Studio Job

Serious Fun, in a fictive world lives a shark. His name is Mr. Holder. He loves to swim but he can’t so other sharks bully him. They call him a pussy, stuffy or stiffy. Poor him you’d say.

So true, but what can you do? And honestly, most like Mr. Holder better this way.

This is a fantasy story created by Job about a shark:"Mr Holder was a shark who loved swimming but could not do it.

He was mocked by all the other sharks who called him a 'boring little girl'. Poor thing! Then two famous designers with their superpower to reinterpret the simplest objects of daily life, transformed Mr Holder into Killer, an unusual umbrella stand, saving him from his sad destiny. " (Job Smeets)From an umbrella stand to a paper basket to a champagne cooler in polyethylene, Killer leaves total freedom of interpretation and use in the home and beyond.
