The Standing Umbrella has a lightweight and robust design and stands up by itself. In order to achieve this, the center of gravity was determined in a complex process by casting aluminum into different clay moulds. Further series of tests were carried out to determine the optimal spread of the three legs. The diameter and center of gravity of the base, made of ABS synthetic resin (plastic), were optimized in such a way that the umbrella is not only steady when standing up but also remains handy. Base, shaft and handle create a uniform line.

站立的雨伞【奇客】
站立的雨伞，这个设计兼具轻质及强劲，而且它可以独自站立。为了这几点，设计者通过不同瓷铸模子来使铝制形变来决定伞的重力集中在中心上。一系列的实验证明三角支点会是最合适的。重心集中在中间的立体底座是由ABS合成树脂制作的，如此一来，这不仅优化其站立时的稳定性而且会使变得很随手。底座.杆和手柄都在一条直线上。
