The Design
About Parachute Muorreplanke
Parachute is in muorreplanke makke fan plaatmetaal. As in seksje brûkt wurdt, sakket de planke fan dy seksje nei ûnderen en hinget op syn plak. De hingjende planke hâldt in jas, in tydskrift of ferlykbere dingen fêst en soarget derfoar dat se net falle. It oerflak hat kleurde streken skieden troch tinne romten, sadat de planke tinken docht oan it grafyske uterlik fan in moderne parasjute en ek as muorrekeunst lêzen wurde kin. Parachute mjit 790 mm yn 'e breedte, 30 mm yn 'e djipte en 220 mm yn 'e hichte. De namme ferbynt de ideeën fan beskermjen en fallen.

Yusuke Watanabe was worried about color of gradation, Through trial and error we found best ways. looks like Wall Art. - Inspiration
- When listening to Coldplay's first album, it suddenly occurred to me to look up the word "Parachute."
It seems that the name "parachute" comes combining the Italian "parare" (to protect) with the French "chute" (to fall).
I thought that was a rather fine name.
I tried to think of devices that protect against falling.
