Blunt | Metro Umbrella | Mister Mort | Limited Edition

Blunt | Metro Umbrella | Mister Mort | Limited Edition

 

Some collaborations just make sense. When BLUNT set out to create a design that lived at the intersection of fashion, heritage and street culture, there was only one person we wanted to partner with: Mordechai Rubinstein — better known as Mister Mort.

 

Metro is the go-to umbrella for days where you’re not sure what's on the horizon. It conveniently fits in your handbag, tote, or backpack so you’re always prepared, whatever the weather.

 

An auto-open button pops open the canopy for instant coverage at your fingertips. Built with unique 360° spinning technology, the Metro’s canopy is designed to elegantly handle knocks when navigating narrow spaces.

 

Open Diameter 100 cm

Closed Length 37.5 cm

Weight 385g

 

Collaboration Artist

Introducing Mordechai Rubinstein. Mordechai Rubinstein has spent his career capturing everyday style with an eye for authenticity. Featured in GQ, The New York Times and Vogue, he has also worked with Levi’s and Marc Jacobs, always bringing his own distinctive take. For this collaboration, he drew from his own wardrobe, collaging tweed, plaid and wool into a canopy that, in his words, celebrates “the most interesting fashion off the runway.”

 

About Blunt

BLUNT is a human-centred product design company.

Blunt comes from a long line of entrepreneurial Kiwis shapes by our unique place, Aotearoa New Zealand, who have an edge that can only come from the edge of the world. Where distance and separation push self-sufficiency and a new way of thinking. It’s a DNA that pushes us to brave new ways.

Their vision is to create products better than those that came before. Products built to last that are modular and repairable. Products that will be with you for life if they are cared for, trusted and respected, and in return will provide you with joy and confidence during life’s vulnerable moments.

Greig Brebner, founder and constantly curious character, grew up with his dad’s workshop as his playground – the perfect stage to bring his ideas to life.

Greig dreamed of creating a ground-breaking product, the very best of its kind with genuine purpose and heart, that people would grow to love. The idea came to him on the rainy streets of London where he found himself adrift amongst a sea of umbrellas, difficult to navigate through and a source of great frustration for many.

"I wanted to create something that would make people's lives better. Something that would stand the test of time, and as any inventors have done in the past, find the answer to a puzzle." Greig Brebner
