About Parachute Vegghylle
Parachute er en vegghylle laget av metallplate. Når en seksjon er i bruk, faller planken i den seksjonen ned og henger på plass. Den hengende planken holder en jakke, et magasin eller lignende gjenstander og hindrer dem i å falle. Overflaten har fargede striper adskilt av tynne mellomrom, slik at hyllen minner om det grafiske uttrykket til en moderne fallskjerm og også kan oppfattes som veggkunst. Parachute måler 790 mm i bredde, 30 mm i dybde og 220 mm i høyde. Navnet forener ideene om å beskytte og å falle.

- 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.
