DF Umbrella (DF stands for Double Fan). It is designed for daylight use, during power outtages or for strolling under the heat of the sun. The fans are made of balsa wood or recycled aluminum held together by earth-friendly glue and aluminum-raw cotton sandwich fabric (The one used for the MCSquared Umbrella, the first umbrella submission by this designer). Both fans are removable from the fork with the aluminum bolts unscrewed. The handles are made of bamboo or recycled aluminum. At the end of its life it could be used as a large foldable fan or as a wall ornament. In the event of power failure, both fans could be used as well. The umbrella is 68cm in height and 1m wide with fans opened.
