A Reflective Umbrella Might Just Save Your Life in the Night

An umbrella is an umbrella right? How much more funky and functional can it get? This one here, challenges that thought by adding a reflective material on it to make practical sense. You might want to use this.
The umbrella was designed by British-born, Hong Kong-based designer Yee-Ling Wan, and it's covered with tiny reflective beads. Similar to the stuff you find on safety vests and bike reflectors, it returns light to its source without much scattering. It could just save you from oncoming vehicles who can't see you
At $42, you can get it here: [MoMA Store]
