Ok. I’ve been looking for the perfect mid century umbrella stand/ holder. Thought the Aalto umbrella stand 115 looked pretty good. Then I read a comment from someone saying that it wasn’t great... especially compared to the classic Aalto pieces. Now I’m second guessing myself about whether I like it or not! Anyone have any thoughts on it?

I don't own an umbrella stand but if I did (someday) i'd look at the old Kartell stuff. I like plastics/lucite/acrylic etc and colour and there are some good options in that style!

If you own several or still use an umbrella and you are sincere about your admiration of Aalto's work, you should do what your instincts are telling you.  

I think the current version is too brand new for me but I am an old school design addict and prefers to reuse old vintage examples.  If the umbrella stand was designed in 1936, I want it to look the part...loved, used, distressed and all.
