Sit Up On Thin Air (Or On A Balloon Bench)

Ballon Bench.jpg
When you need something to lift up your spirit, or you simply want do daydream, you could not possibly find a better location that this Balloon Bench.

As passionate cinephiles, you will remember the French movie "Le Ballon Rouge" (1953) and the feeling of floating that the main character felt. Well, with great poetry the Japanese studio h220430 created this bench. In reality, it is suspended from the ceiling by 4 anchors concealed by the balloon shapes, which can actually work as lamps. This creates the illusion of being suspended, relying only on helium and romance.

Check out some more images and contact Gallery Somewhere in Tokyo if you want it for your flat, or office.
