"Stargazer"
Who hasn't looked up at the night sky and wondered about the immensity of the universe and how small we are within it?  
Stargazer is 12 feet long and I hope to get someone to begin thinking this way, and then put them in the position to actually look up.

The process used to make the colors on stargazer
are a complex set of chemical reactions that are controlled
only to a small degree in order to produce the kind of  
random images found in space

Made of steam-bent, laminated ash wood, Stargazer is coated with transparent fiberglass to make it weather resistant for outdoor use.  It is actually  a back-to-back chaise longe  that forms one continuous swoop.
