Blunt | Metro Umbrella | Forest + Bird | Limited Edition

 

BLUNT and Forest & Bird mark their third collaboration with a limited edition Metro designed by artist Tanya Wolfkamp. Featuring 16 native sea and shore birds, the canopy celebrates Aotearoa’s coastal wildlife while supporting vital conservation work.

 

In support of Forest & Bird, Blunt teamed up with artist Tanya Wolfkamp to celebrate Aotearoa New Zealand’s coastal wildlife. Inspired by the shorelines of her Waiheke Island home, she layered teal waves, rocky textures, and soft watercolour washes to evoke the feeling of seabirds wheeling overhead. The result is a limited edition Metro that brings art and conservation to life on every rainy day.

 

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.

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
