The multifunctional smart storage umbrella is not just a rain shield; it’s a smart device integrated with multiple innovative technologies. The unique cup-shaped structure cleverly addresses the issue of water dripping from traditional umbrellas by collecting rainwater after use, preventing moisture and bacteria from spreading inside your car or home. The transparent canopy, combined with light refraction principles, transforms into a 360-degree warning light. Whether dealing with vehicle breakdowns or outdoor work, simply activate the strobe mode with one click to ensure effective safety alerts in complex environments.



Minimalist design runs throughout, with a cylindrical form that’s easy to carry and space-efficient. The umbrella is made of lightweight materials and features an ergonomic handle, ensuring a comfortable grip every time. The built-in dynamic energy collection system converts the subtle vibrations generated while walking into electrical energy, charging the internal battery and doubling as a power bank in emergencies, embodying the concept of green energy use.



The multifunctional smart storage umbrella, with its simple yet sophisticated design, redefines the traditional umbrella by blending practicality and aesthetics, offering a new experience for modern living. Whether in innovation or user-centered design, it strives to provide the utmost care and protection. This is not just an umbrella; it’s the embodiment of technology and art, and a forward-thinking exploration of future lifestyles.
