Social Design

#chumbrella is a social tool, a pop up shared space which promotes connectivity with people who share our streets. 

By holding a #chumbrella the individual is giving tacit consent for another person to share their space, whether the reason is for protection from the elements, or just a friendly chat. 

Living in the physical is becoming increasingly alien as we disconnect with the people around us in favour of the digital medium. Whilst accepting this social shift #chumbrella provides real moments of value and aims to enrich our experience of public spaces by removing barriers and highlighting the benefits of face to face communication.
