The product name leads us to believe that the creators of this NanoNuno Umbrella come from the same planet as Robin Williams from Mork and Mindy, yet signs show that the Nanotechnology Umbrella were indeed made on Earth. It’s modeled after the lotus leaf and is said to maintain its dryness and cleanliness for years.
How does the NanoNuno accomplish such a task? Following the elegant design of nature! The reason a lotus leaf seems to have dirt and water drip right off is because of its limited surface space for the molecules to grab onto. The design is so smooth and the fabric so strong, that moisture never makes its way into the fabric to cause any wetness. A quick shake of the NanoNuno and it’d completely dry and clean. The umbrella comes in two colors, Cognac and Black, and is available for £49.95. — Andrew Dobrow
