OUR BRAND & DESIGN TEAM

PRECISION FOR EVERYDAY LIFE.

Kortenbach & Rauh brings together designers from China and Germany, combining an interest in German precision craftsmanship with modern everyday aesthetics. Our guiding phrase, “PRÄZISION ÜBER DEN WOLKEN” — “Precision above the clouds” — reflects that approach. Through original design, structural development and material selection, we focus on umbrellas that fit everyday life, from a rainy commute to a weekend away.

BUILT FROM THE INSIDE OUT

STRUCTURE FIRST. SILHOUETTE FOLLOWS.

A reliable umbrella begins with the frame. Our development brings together rib geometry, shaft stability and canopy tension, with attention to weight, handling and how the umbrella opens and closes. KR26 applies that thinking to a compact umbrella with a built-in waterproof sleeve stored inside its cap, keeping the cover with the umbrella for the journey after rain.

DESIGNED FOR DAILY USE

THOUGHTFUL DETAILS. EVERYDAY USE.

Water-repellent canopy fabric, a compact folding format and a choice of colors make KR26 an umbrella for everyday commutes and travel. Its integrated sleeve covers the folded canopy for temporary carrying after rain. At your destination, uncover the umbrella and let both the canopy and sleeve dry fully before storage.
