Overview

This climber is inspired by the billowing cup form of medusa jellyfish, drawing its palette from the delicate blues found in some jellies native to the Pacific coast of the Americas. It is composed of six helical pipes, of which three curve upwardly-clockwise and three weave in the reverse direction. The large canopy features the the artwork of acclaimed painter Robert Reynolds, and shields climbers from the intense sun.
