Gabriella Crespi (17 February 1922–14 February 2017) was an Italian artist-designer whose work spanned furniture design, jewelry and sculpture. Transforming objects by adding changes in their function, Crespi developed her style with a repertoire of more than two thousand pieces. Her design pieces have been appreciated and owned by public figures as King Faisal, the Shah Reza Pahlavi, Grace Kelly, George Livanos, Thomas Hoving, Audrey Hepburn, Gunter Sachs and celebrated by design enthusiasts and magazines.

The umbrella stand is in excellent vintage condition. Only one bamboo thread has come loose, and it is hidden on the bottom of the stand.
