Jason Rosenthal, husband of the late author Amy Krouse Rosenthal, commissioned artist Susan Giles and worked with Space Haus to design and bring Amy’s iconic yellow umbrella to life. The umbrella was significant to Ms. Rosenthal because it was a beacon for her friends to find her in public places in order to “make” things together.

Space Haus produced construction drawings for the sculpture, coordinated with structural engineers, and oversaw fabrication and installation.
