For manifesting the weather you want, look no further than Palmbrella. Dreamed up by artist Pippa Garner for her Better Living Catalog — a faux–mail-order bible first published in 1982. The piece is product as performance, turning a daily object into a twisted act of defiance.

The Palmbrella makes literal what so many lifestyle objects suggest — that you can buy your way into a different season or self. In this never ending February, we’ll take it.
