“Le Parapluie de Cherbourg shares a lot of common values with Maison Tournaire. This collaboration between our two houses was obvious to me. Both in terms of aligning our values and from a design point of view. Together, at the heart of our two factories, we thought of these umbrellas as real jewels. We were able to create exceptional and elegant designs.» reveals Charles Yvon, CEO of Parapluie de Cherbourg.
The first creation of the collaboration is the Parapluie Engrenages. The bronze handle features a multitude of gears, symbolizing transmission as well as movement. Mathieu Tournaire interprets these cogs as representing the passing of time and the members of a family, each of whom is essential to the smooth functioning of the whole.
The Gear Umbrella is priced at €450.
The second creation revealed is the Alchemy Umbrella. Taking the shapes of the emblematic Alchemy collection from the house of Tournaire, the umbrella integrates the square, the triangle and the round, symbolizing the past, the present and the future. These shapes represent the journey of life as well as the evolution of Man.
The Alchemy Umbrella is priced at €450.
