- Parachute was made by sheet metal.
With the colored stripes separated by thin spaces, the graphic design is reminiscent of a modern parachute; this theme is transformed, in a recognisable and aesthetically successful manner, into an original shelf design. - Design Challenge
- Yusuke Watanabe designed a new type of wall shelf, looks like Wall Art.
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.
