About us

TaEnParaply is about more than just umbrellas. We believe that small, concrete actions can make a big difference in how we see each other and share our everyday lives. Our idea started in Ålesund — inspired by a desire to make rainy days a little better, easier, and more inclusive for everyone.

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. By sharing umbrellas, we reduce unnecessary consumption and waste. Why buy an umbrella that is only used once or rarely? Sharing allows each umbrella to be used many times, instead of everyone owning their own. This is good for the environment — and good for the community.

We also want to make city life better — not just for individuals, but for everyone in the neighborhood. When you use and return an umbrella, you build trust and show care for the person who comes after you. Together, we create a culture where small actions have a big impact.

Our vision is a city where sharing is a natural part of daily life, and where we help each other without expecting anything in return. Whether you’re going to work, meeting friends, or just on the move, we’ll always be there for you — and for those around you.
