A British inventor is hoping to turn the world of the humble umbrella on its head after designing one that folds inwards to stop water dripping onto the floor.
Rather than creating pools of rainwater when it is put away, like normal umbrellas, the Kazbrella folds the opposite way, collecting drips inside it.
It also solves the problem of poking passers-by in the head with an umbrella’s spokes because it opens from the top rather than the bottom.
