For designers

Try your artwork on a canopy.

Upload a design and see how it lands across the panel seams, on a single panel, and closed — drawn in your browser, with no AI. Nothing is sent until you click “Submit this design”.

The 6-panel frame is confirmed; the 5-panel version is still under discussion. Check your design in both formats: those are the two constructions currently available from our suppliers.

Open canopy — flat diagram

A straight-on view for checking seam placement. Not how it looks in the rain — a working diagram.

Upload artwork on the left to see the open canopy, a single panel with seam-safe margins, and the closed silhouette.

Think it belongs on an umbrella?

Send it over. If people vote it up, it goes into production as a numbered edition — and № 001 carries your name.

The umbrella will carry your artist name, followed by the city when provided. Use plain letters A–Z, numbers, spaces or hyphens only: no accents and no other alphabets (for Chinese, write it in pinyin). The name has to be easy to type, so a found umbrella can be traced back.

Imagine it in the world

This optional city is used only in the AI prompt. Changing it will not change the city printed with your artist name.

Every submission is reviewed before publication. We do not accept hateful, discriminatory, pornographic or illegal content, or images that encourage dangerous behaviour.

After submission, you receive a confirmation email. If the design is approved, a second email contains its canopy preview and your deletion link. If it is selected for a sample, we will ask you for a larger, print-ready file.
