The MoMA Design Store introduced in 1992 the Sky Umbrella designed by Tibor Kalman and Emanuela Frattini Magnusson.
This collapsible umbrella is ideal for protecting from negativity, bad mood, and rain. The umbrella exterior is a plain black canopy, but the umbrella unveils a bright blue sky strewn with white clouds once opened. This unexpected interior reminds Kalman’s joyful life.
The umbrella conveniently folds to a small size, ideal for traveling.
It is made of sturdy nylon with an automatic open/close mechanism.
Emanuela Frattini Magnusson is the founder and principal of EFM Design, an international award-winning multi-disciplinary practice that spans architecture, interiors, product design, brand development, and graphics.
Tibor Kalman (July 6, 1949 – May 2, 1999) was the most influential American graphic designer of the 1980s and 1990s. He attended NYU, where he studied journalism, before dropping out and working for a small book store.
The store would eventually become Barnes and Noble, the literary retail giant, while Tibor would become the director of their in-house design firm. Together with Carol Bokuniewicz and Liz Trovato, he formed the design company M&Co.
Tibor Kalman and Emanuela Frattini Magnusson are two brilliant designers. They created the iconic Sky Umbrella in 1992 (MoMA).
