This Vilac umbrella is made from high gloss lacquered wood and features a novelty cellphone at the base of the handle. It’s too bad it’s not real, because when you think about it, having an umbrella with a cellphone mount would be really convenient on rainy days, and would leave one hand free to hail a taxi, carry a briefcase, or flip someone off while simultaneously talking on the phone and keeping yourself dry.
