The story

Designed to change with the light.

Most of what we carry is forgotten the moment it leaves the hand. PRISM 01 was made to be looked at twice, and to be worth the second look.

A holographic film, sealed between layers of clear canopy, catches colour from every kind of light, overcast or bright. The film is protected inside the material, preserved from fade and wear.

The metal is a quiet brushed silver and the handle a matte cream. We left it there.

Guides

What is PRISM 01?

PRISM 01 is PORTAMENTO's first umbrella: a full-size stick umbrella with a transparent, iridescent canopy, eight fiberglass ribs, a brushed silver aluminium shaft and a matte cream J-hook handle. It costs ₹4,199.

How much does PRISM 01 cost?

₹4,199 MRP, inclusive of all taxes, with complimentary delivery across India.

Is PRISM 01 good for the monsoon?

It is built for heavy rain: heat-sealed panels with no stitching, so there are no needle holes for water to get through, fiberglass ribs that flex and do not rust, double-riveted joints, an all-metal runner and rust-resistant metal tips. As a full-size stick umbrella it covers more of you than a compact. A tested wind rating will be published once independent testing is complete.

Can I see through it?

Yes. The canopy is transparent, with an iridescent tint that shifts as you move and as the light changes.

Will the colour wear off?

The holographic film is laminated between two layers of canopy film, not coated on top, which keeps the colour away from surface rubbing and abrasion.

How is PRISM 01 different from other holographic umbrellas?

Holographic umbrellas vary widely in how they are built. PRISM 01 laminates its holographic film between two clear layers instead of printing or coating it on the surface, heat-seals its eight panels instead of stitching them, and uses fiberglass ribs, double-riveted joints and an all-metal runner.

Is it a compact or folding umbrella?

No. PRISM 01 is a full-size stick (long) umbrella. It does not fold down to fit in a bag.

Does it protect from UV?

We don't make UV claims until the final canopy has been independently tested. The results will be published here.

How does it handle wind?

Fiberglass ribs flex under load where steel tends to bend and stay bent. We will publish a tested wind rating once independent testing is complete.

Does PRISM 01 make a good gift?

It arrives in a matte black rigid box with a care card, so it is ready to give as it is.

What is the return policy and warranty?

Returns are accepted within 14 days if the umbrella is unused and in its original packaging. PRISM 01 has a one-year warranty on the frame and mechanism.

How do I care for it?

Open it fully to dry, away from direct heat. Wipe the canopy with a soft, damp cloth and avoid solvents. Store it closed with the strap fastened once it is completely dry. Our guide on how to care for a clear umbrella covers the rest.
