The nature fascinates and surprises us in the most unexpected moments. For instance, when we are going to work or even to have a lunch, in opposite from all expectations and weather forecasts, we can face out a wet surprise – just starts to rain. The rain will change our routine wherever we are.

Any person, deeply inserted in the urban centre life will remember the nature in these moments, spending money buying any kind of umbrella or raincoat, bringing more and more trash to your home, due to the poor quality of the majority kind of these products when we buy them without any criteria, just by the present necessity.

An individual who sees the urban day to day life as part of a fragile ecosystem, in constant movement, is always prepared for the nature surprises. That conscious consumer looks for products that carry for sustainable and that increase the practicability for the day to day use. For him for all the dynamics and creative individuals comes out the most pacific way to interact with the rain. The ANT Folder.

The ANT Folder basically consists of a reusable plastic - circled shape – tied to a plastic strip that will form a pair of holders, and a single pressure cramp, like the ones commonly used as stationary stuffs. Under the reusable plastic sheet as of 1 mm thickness, presses and cuts are applied to identify the folds and holders inserts.

By removing the cramp, that also works as support for the folder, we can release the two strips, sided located and completely assembly the folder. To show the conic format of a typical umbrella is required only to fold up the presses that crosses the folder and to apply the cramp. The holder continues to work as a support but in the opposite side.

In order to do not loose any document eventually in the folder, during the assembling, the ANT Folder comes with a zippered envelope that can be removed and hanged to the strip of the holder through a special insert. After the transformation, the strip of the holder stays protected inside while you hold your ANT Folder.
