A project developed for the tenth show of Les Petits Riens/Spullenhulp. It will be auctioned in Brussels in November 2012 to raise funds to help poor people.

‘This project was developed for the tenth show of Les Petits Riens/Spullenhulp. Each year, this non-profit Belgian organization invites product and fashion designers to create unique pieces from second hand objects and clothes. The artworks are then auctioned as part of the project ‘Second Hand, Second Life’ to raise funds to help poor people.
BRANCH is an open invitation to share your umbrella. When it is raining and you are accompanied, it is often difficult to wait for the other and adjust your stride compared to its own. This double handle allows two people to hold the umbrella and leads them to walk at the same pace. BRANCH is an object that encourages people to move forward together in the rain, to be less individualistic and take time.’
