About Parachute Stenska polica
Parachute je stenska polica, izdelana iz pločevine. Ko je posamezen del v uporabi, se deska tega dela spusti in obvisi na mestu. Viseča deska drži plašč, revijo ali podobne predmete in preprečuje, da bi padli. Površina nosi barvne črte, ločene s tankimi presledki, zato polica spominja na grafično podobo sodobnega padala in jo lahko razumemo tudi kot stensko umetnino. Parachute meri 790 mm v širino, 30 mm v globino in 220 mm v višino. Ime združuje ideji varovanja in padanja.

- 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.
