Every facet of AYTM's 'Curva' umbrella stand serves a practical and decorative purpose in equal doses. From the stand's aligned iron rods, which curva at the base to create an illusion of lightness as well as creating stability for umbrellas placed inside, to the square base that offers a pleasing contrast to the stand's upper body while also collecting any dripping water from umbrellas, 'curva' is a design object of a special kind.
