The Score

Birds or notes. It depends on whether you’re listening.

There is a moment just before rain when the birds stop moving.

They line up on the wire. They wait. From a distance they look like notation — black marks on a pale staff, a piece of music the sky is about to play. Up close they look like letters. A word you can’t quite read. A name, maybe. Or a warning.

This umbrella captures that moment — six diagonal lines crossing a pale silvered ground, heavy calligraphic forms perched along them like they landed there on purpose. It is the most quietly unsettling thing you will carry in a rainstorm. Which is exactly the point.

For the person who hears music in everything. Or sees birds in the sheet music. Either one.
