'Z' is an umbrella that can be efficiently dried in narrow spaces using two joints. Generally, people unfold an umbrella when they want to dry it. Unfolding-umbrella takes up a lot of space, which makes people hard to walk through corridor and uncomfortable. So we designed new umbrella occupying less space when getting dried. To reduce the drying space, we utilize two joints that each of them can be folded at an appropriate angle. In addition, it is designed to be stable while standing by touching only three points of its handle on the ground. The handles ring shape makes an umbrella stand on the floor and hang at the end of a desk or a knob.
