For years, people have tried perfecting the design of the umbrella, to no avail. No matter what, they have always been prone to flipping inside-out or breaking. But now, designers in China have developed a new sort of handheld device called Air Umbrella that doesn't even have a flippable canopy or breakable metal spokes.
