For this ‘Balloon Bench’,<br />
Japanese designers Satoshi<br />
Itasaka and Takuto Usami<br />
drew inspiration from French<br />
fi l m Le Ballon Rouge. The 1957<br />
fi lm tells the story of a boy<br />
who befriends a red balloon<br />
and roams the streets of Paris<br />
in its company. Despite<br />
appearances, the bench isn’t<br />
suspended in mid air: four<br />
hidden anchors fi rmly attach<br />
it to the ceiling and wall.<br />
