In recent times designers have worked on making umbrellas more user centric. Some prolific modifications have widened the scope of umbrellas, with respect to our daily lives. The one that you see in the image above is a perfect example of that. This is not just an umbrella, but one that can act as a guide too. The map in the above image is that of Istanbul. This umbrella shows how a simple innovation can help many people stuck in the rain with no guide or escort or idea about how to get to their destination. This umbrella includes distinguished cafes, restaurants and hot spots of Istanbul. However, this is not the only one; we’ve had, umbrella with ashtray for compulsive smokers, umbrella stool, the Pileus camera umbrella, electric umbrella, the umbuster and an umbrella for two.
