Do you remember those nice DIY Graffiti Umbrellas by the Dutch graffiti artists Sons and Romeo? Ema just wrote me about the young, German urban creation start-up Choke, which aim is to combine everyday products with artful designs from around the globe…

They have a collection of quite nice umbrellas designed by famous urban artists like A1one from Tehran, Papermonster from New York and Cabaio from Buenos Aires! By the way, the inspiration which lead to those Choke Umbrellas came from the rainy streets of Glasgow, Scotland - the monotony of a modern metropolis on a rainy day is sometimes really depressing.

Thought it would be a nice idea to let you know about this, ’cause I’m pretty sure there will one or another rainy day in 2012! So check it out on www.choke-urbancreation.de
