'Assemblage' is an umbrella modular system which the whole product can be easily assembly and disassembly, increasing the life cycle of the product from the diversity of color choice to the replacement of broken parts.

The main focus of the design is to make "Assemblage" an assembly umbrella system which it can achieve by only 5 easy steps using designed joints with simple button to lock and release. So no matter in the shops or at home, users can easily replace any part of "Assemblage", making an individualized styling combination or repairing the broken parts in just a few minutes.

"Assemblage" is also a system concerning about the full cycle of the product from manufacturing to shop (selling), to users (individualized design for use), and finally back to manufacture (pure material recycle). Therefore, from the manufacturing point of view, the manufacturer can keep the same sets of manufacturing tools but already can develop a large variety of trendy products by changing colors of the parts and the pattern of the fabric. Each part is preferred in using one pure recycle material and so all the separate parts can be easily reproduce through a recycle bin provided in the shops, and the manufacturer can easily reuse the material while not compensate the material quality for a new product. Finally, selling product in this way, the shop can keep less stock of unwanted goods making the whole investment lower.
