MORE THAN
85 YEARS
OF QUALITY.
A BRAND OF THE CENTURY.
INNOVATION
TRADITION
The Knirps story started in 1928 with a revolutionary idea: the invention of the first
collapsible umbrella frame. Knirps was born and the 85-year-old success story began.
The innovative pocket umbrella triumphed due to the outstanding quality of the products
and the continuing development of the range of models with different sizes, shapes and
colors – as well as garden umbrellas. Through this unique combination of innovation,
design and quality, Knirps has achieved a rare status: It is synonymous with the world’s
leading pocket umbrellas.
The success of the Knirps brand is based on the historical innovative strength which
customers still depend on today. In order to continue to earn this trust, we will continue to
invest all of our enthusiasm, experience and engineering expertise in technically ambitious
products.
PERFECTION
For Knirps, perfection means providing our customers with a product that demonstrates its
usefulness day after day, in accordance with our high standards in design, function, materials
and quality workmanship. After all, every Knirps is a representative of the brand.
QUALITY
Each Knirps is imbued with the experience from 85 years of umbrella innovation and manufacturing. High-quality materials, attention to detail and rigorous quality control are part of
our company philosophy. For this reason, our umbrellas undergo rigorous testing procedures,
including wind tunnel testing, and are laboratory tested for corrosion resistance. These
successful tests demonstrate that our products can be used in the worst weather conditions
and maintain a long life.

SUSTAINABILITY
Knirps is commited to environmental responsibility by creating quality products that last
for many years and by conducting repairs through specialty retailers or repair persons. This
ensures that our umbrellas are not simply discarded and replaced by a new product.

A LEGACY OF PRECISION
GERMAN ENGINEERING
A Knirps umbrella’s inherent mechanical soundness insures that all its components perform
together with matchless strength and efficiency.
There are some minor variations among the different Knirps models, but most share the
following signature characteristics:
SOLID SHAFTS
Made from super-strong steel or high-grade aluminum, lined with
zinc for additional strength and flexibility.
Interlocking 10-sided tubes minimize loose rotation.
Tiny copper rings prevent component parts from grinding together,
thereby insuring years of smooth, reliable operation.

RESILIENT CANOPY FABRICS

The very light X1 is a winner of the Design Award and is the smallest
patented umbrella from Knirps. It has a medium canopy and, thanks to
the attractive cover, has a beautiful form even when closed.
Repels water with unique flat-weave polyester.
Dries almost instantly.
No more soggy umbrellas in the corner.
