the r-54 is a full length sandblasted silver and black umbrella built from machined aluminium components. it features individual details such as a japanese fabric canopy and hand-stitched black leather grip, along with a unique threaded aluminium cup to hold the canopy tips. the machine bent aluminium handle forms a crook for added functionality, and is left hollow to save weight.
while key materials have been sourced in europe and japan, all manufacturing processes for the r-series take place in the uk. each leather grip is stitched by hand in oxford, while final assembly occurs at instrmnt’s custom built workshop in glasgow.
