A long
long time ago I subscribed to the reference French design magazine Intramuros. I believe that my decision
to discontinue backs to an issue in which some star designers have participated to an operation for which they had
created objects edited by 11 copies + 2 artist’s outputs…
Artist or
designer, can’t they choose ?
Among
them, Karim Rashid (well, I think he was this one) bucked (well, I think he
didn’t do it himself) a birch to get out a stool… Was it possible to fall so
low to speak about design ?
Moreover I could do the same and at
this time I had a similar idea in my sketchbook, unpretentious but
better-designed, so for my Project 52
I take the absurd to the ultimate !
Tomorrow is the Workers Day so it’s easy to speak about work… birch*… well, I cut a
birch:
I
hollowed a part and here is a stool:
either a
bucket:
because
it’s said that there is no bucket** birch*… silly ball***… er, a beautiful wolf
jump ... midget under water ...
Some
people could ask about how to close the bucket, but here is either a stool
either a bucket, there is no closing so it can not be a stool and a bucket in
the same time… Multifunctional doesn’t means simultaneous, you’re design
or you’re not !!
* Well,
I’m soooo sorry, poor english lecturers, birch
is a tree named bouleau in french, a
name that sounds exactly like boulot
which is the french word for job. You
know I’m in hollidays so please accept this french word joke without any link
in your idioma.
** Birch
= bouleau that sounds like boulot = job. You have the first joke. Bucket
= seau sounds like sot =
silly. You have the second joke.
*** Well… you know, this is a Workers Day’s joke post, so here is a serious list of word jokes I can’t translate into english ones. You can read here the directly french to english translation, very absurd, yes, and if you’re a french reader you can see the originals here.

Its always good to have other skills you never know when you'll be out of a job.. even as an English teacher you're not guaranteed a job in these times of uncertainty - make sure you have your CV ready and have brushed up on your interview skills (check out www.cv-genie.co.uk for some simple yet effective CV Templates)
