Perception and Motion: The House Fallen from the Sky by Jean Francois Fourtou
“I made the house as if my grandfather has sent it from heaven,” says Fourtou. This piece not only changes the way one moves through the spaces of house, but also puts a curious spin on production. Where the house came from, how it was constructed and how one enters are all questions that are up for interpretation.

We are the people of the book. We love our books. We fill our houses with books. We treasure books we inherit from our parents, and we cherish the idea of passing those books on to our children. Indeed, how many of us started reading with a beloved book that belonged to one of our parents? We force worthy books on our friends, and we insist that they read them. We even feel a weird kinship for the people we see on buses or airplanes reading our books, the books that we claim. If anyone tries to take away our books—some oppressive government, some censor gone off the rails—we would defend them with everything that we have. We know our tribespeople when we visit their homes because every wall is lined with books. There are teetering piles of books beside the bed and on the floor; there are masses of swollen paperbacks in the bathroom. Our books are us. They are our outboard memory banks and they contain the moral, intellectual, and imaginative influences that make us the people we are today.

I just want things to go back like they used to be. :(
I really wanna be friends again… Like on speaking terms. Maybe we won’t ever be close again (although I do hope we still be) but just be able to talk to each other without feeling awkward. :( When school starts I hope it won’t be too weird because I’m sure we’re gonna be seatmates………..
Masayuki Kurokawa (1937) is an award winning architect and product designer, whose work has won numerous honors worldwide. Traditionally, salt and pepper shakers have one hole for pepper and three holes for salt and the container is usually opaque so the contents inside can not be seen. Mr. Kurokawas concept behind the Balloon Shakers was so you can see what’s inside the shaker as it can be used for not only salt and pepper, but all kinds of seasonings. Hand-blown by Shotoku Glass Co., who originally created lightbulbs in Japan, therefore creating a very thin (yet durable) glass balloon.
