This Super Brain cabin by artist Carla Pires de Carvalho Fernandes is a part of a series of artistic interventions in public telephone booths in the city of São Paulo, similar to the interventions of the Cow Parade that took a few years ago when they put more cows painted and decorated all the way in various parts of the city.

Several hoods are receiving special decorations and paintings exhibited in the open leading art and color to the city.

“Every year the world produces 1.1 billion umbrellas,” said Philip Hess, one of the co-founders of Senz, the Delft, Netherlands-based company that reimagined traditional umbrella design with its award-winning Senz original.

“You have to think about what impact that has,” added Mr. Hess, 31, referring to broken umbrellas that end up in trashcans on rainy days.
With its aerodynamic shape that resists turning inside out, the Senz original umbrella can withstand winds of up to 62 miles per hour. Each umbrella also comes with a two-year warranty.
