arc ::

today's generational culture lends itself the challenge to renew the old. the main ideal is to create an effectiveness that will allow the information age to move forward with fluidity and ideally, to inspire the next collective of minds to create beyond the box. arc is a representation in both design and purpose to our modern lifestyle. key elements of efficiency provide what an elder design found itself lacking. the consumer will find himself situated directly beneath the center of the umbrella as the result of an off set pole; a 20% increase in space usage. the design aesthetic of a short front and long back creates greater visibility and automatic water run off towards the back. the elimination of closed edges reduces the potential for capturing wind and the handle is curved for comfort.

you will find arc to be completely modular. emphasizing its concentrated robustness for increased durability, arc consists of 64 total pieces, 22 being unique in design. every single piece snaps and unsnaps to allow for easy mantling, dismantling and proper recycling. with this product, there are no excuses. the "snap in place" cover is interchangeable in both design and color to match dress, compliment accessories, and ensure easy cleaning. the new definition in design descends its staggered core in five stages and closes flush at 2.5 inches in diameter.

tubular enclosures serve the dual purpose of casing and consumer up-recycling; a vehicle for replacement and waste reduction. broken or torn arc elements are placed inside tube and returned to the manufacturer for proper disposal. arc's unique characteristic of modular design prevents a full replacement of the entire product. the packaging label itself slides into molded slats and is cinched tight with the lid. glue is not a necessary medium in the production of arc.

with the unfortunate decline of our planet's delicate eco-system, it is important to educate and inspire a realm of efficient technical nutrients. not only does it provide a solid foundation of progressive thought, but it ensures the likelihood of educated users. arc provides the necessary balance of elemental requirements and incorporative design. ultimately, it fulfills today's need for tomorrow's life cycles.
