London’s LN-CC, maybe the coolest concept store in the world has collaborated with the Eastern European accessories designer, Oliver Ruuger to present the most exclusive umbrella collection. After honing his craft producing exclusively made-to-order pieces, Ruuger has released his first complete retail collection of umbrellas in four distinct styles, commissioned especially for LN-CC.
Each umbrella is hand crafted by two artisan specialists, using a number of ultra-premium, carefully-sourced exotic materials such as calfskin, exotic leathers including Nile crocodile, Java and ring lizard, jet-black ebony wood and high-quality metal components (solid, black brass). Many intricate processes are used in the making of each umbrella. A black,’Oliver Ruuger’ label is sewn into the inside of the canopy as the final detail for each umbrella.

Oliver Ruuger’s work ranges from bespoke briefcases to umbrellas, all of which feature a bold, sculptural execution rarely seen across such traditional items.
