Knirps, the company behind the lightweight umbrella with the red dot, has kept people dry since 1928 with its foldable pocket umbrella.
Synonymous with quality and innovation in the umbrella world, Knirps ensures its umbrellas stand the test of time with a commitment to functional design and reliability.
But despite their best efforts, even the most dedicated Knirps owner has at one time experienced the frustration of a misplaced or forgotten umbrella.
The challenge: Keeping tabs on your Knirps umbrella
Committed to enhancing their customers' experience even after the sale, Knirps recognized the value of Chipolo's trackers in collaboration with the finding power of the worldwide Apple Find My network.
The Chipolo X Knirps collaboration offered a unique opportunity to address a common pain point and add an even greater value to their already exceptional umbrellas.
The solution: The Chipolo ONE Spot item finder
Knirps initially considered integrating a tracking solution directly into the handle of the umbrella, however, the versatility of the existing Chipolo ONE Spot allowed for a more streamlined approach.
Paired with a custom silicone case, the ONE Spot proved to be the optimal solution.
The round case, designed in Knirps's signature style, also provided additional rain protection and an easy way to securely attach the item tracker to the umbrella strap.
The result: An umbrella you won't be able to lose
The result is a solution for a frequently misplaced item: the umbrella. By integrating Chipolo ONE Spot into Knirps’ renowned umbrellas through custom silicon holders, lost umbrellas will no longer be a common issue.
