The senz° storm umbrella was developed in 2006 by 3 Dutch students from Delft’s Technical University, frustrated by umbrellas that constantly flipped inside out and ended up in the trash.
Senz° was founded by three friends, all studied at Delft University of Technology. They were fed up with the flimsy umbrellas that kept breaking. They redesigned the traditional umbrella and gave it an innovative, asymmetrical shape. Not to make it look special, but because that’s what makes senz°. Their quest led to the senz° original storm umbrella, which always finds the optimal position in the wind, prevents it from flipping inside out, and can withstand wind speeds of up to 100 km/h!
After thousands of years of traditional umbrellas, senz° has reimagined the umbrella with a revolutionary approach. Instead of resisting the wind, we use its force to our advantage. Driven by cutting-edge aerodynamics and our unique patented design, it ensures comfort, no matter the wind speed. Through thoughtful design and engineering, we've made the senz° storm umbrella not only more reliable but also more sustainable. Its extended lifespan is crucial for minimizing environmental impact. This is how senz° tackles the real problem in a no-nonsense way: preventing unnecessary waste and creating lasting value for both our users and the planet.
The senz° foldaway was designed out of the frustration of travelers with bulky, hard-to-store luggage. The senz° team saw an opportunity to create a practical, space-saving solution. The foldaway suitcase provides comfort during travel and solves the storage issue by easily folding up, making storage effortless. But the senz° foldaway is more than just the perfect travel companion; it’s a statement of sustainability and efficiency. We contribute to a cleaner world without compromising the quality and functionality you expect from us. Launched in 2023, the senz° foldaway received the prestigious Red Dot Design Award in 2024.
At senz°, we believe that innovation is more than just design; it’s about creating impact. Our mission is to continuously create the most durable, best, and innovative storm umbrellas and luggage — products that not only withstand the elements but also contribute to a more sustainable world. From the first revolutionary design of an umbrella that defies the wind to our space-saving, smart luggage — at every step, we’ve placed sustainability and smart design at the core. We aim to keep innovating and creating products that make not only today’s journey easier but also tomorrow’s.
senz° – designed to last, built to move.
