Round-Tipped Parasols

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Blunt Umbrellas Provide Safety and Functionality in the Rain

— March 28, 2011 — Art & Design
It's scary when someone else's umbrella has the potential to rip your eye out, so it's about time that something like the Blunt Umbrellas were created.

Blunt Umbrellas eliminate the potential problem of going blind due to the spiky ends of umbrellas. The company has designed a rounder tip, adding safety to the device when you're using it in the rain. In addition to this change, the umbrella's design has an aerodynamic structure that integrates a tensioned canopy. This prevents the parasol from turning inside out, even in the strongest of winds.

So if you're looking for a strong umbrella that doesn't poke your eye out, Blunt Umbrellas will do the trick. There are three sizes available, regular, XL and lite depending on personal preference.
Trend Themes
1. Safer Umbrella Design - The development of round-tipped umbrellas presents an opportunity for companies to innovate and create safer umbrellas that eliminate the risk of eye injuries.
2. Aerodynamic Canopy Structures - The integration of tensioned canopies and aerodynamic structures in umbrellas opens up opportunities for designing products that can withstand strong winds without flipping inside out.
3. Personalized Umbrella Sizes - The availability of different sizes, such as regular, XL, and lite, allows companies to tap into the market by offering personalized options based on customer preferences and needs.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Equipment and Accessories - The outdoor equipment and accessories industry can explore the development of safer and more durable umbrellas that provide enhanced functionality in various weather conditions.
2. Safety and Protection Products - Companies in the safety and protection products industry can capitalize on the development of round-tipped umbrellas to offer innovative solutions that prioritize user safety and eliminate the risk of injuries.
3. Fashion and Lifestyle - The fashion and lifestyle industry can incorporate the design and functionality of round-tipped umbrellas as a stylish and practical accessory, catering to the demand for both safety and aesthetics.
