The Kyouei Design ceramic umbrella pot is a combination of a large umbrella pot and a small plant pot attached at the bottom. After coming home from a rainy day, you place the umbrella on the pot and the water from the umbrella drains into the plant pot via small internal holes. The water that would once just evaporate or make a mess in your foyer, will now help contain life. This design won't be a hot seller in the hot deserts of California, but those in rainy Seattle might want to take a look at this one.
