This seat is situated in the middle of an attractive glade,
facing south, and first seen through the trees on a ridge when
approaching from the south. The double layered curved design
is intended to cocoon anyone sitting in the seat, offering a
sense of security and creating an inward reflection of light.
The four verticals root the seat into the ground, and connect
up into the surrounding trees and sky.
