Narrative Description
Imagine exploring the vast expanse of the open playa beyond the city
circle. Out in the distance, a line of bright, multi-colored objects
catches your eye. As you draw closer, you realize that you see a line
of six shade umbrellas, each of a different color, standing over large
similarly colored armchairs, inviting you to sit and take a break on
your long journey through the desert. As you sit down, you realize that a
personal mini-sound system is built into each chair at the ear
level. On a long journey, this will be your most welcome, intimate and
soothing stop.
