Phat-so
July 31, 2007
The ancient Japanese believed that gods lived in all things, whether animate or inanimate. Talking to a wall was not an idle act, but actually a kind of soul-searching. And usually, the wall talked back.
Now the designer of a table and set of chairs says his furniture embodies that philosophy.
The furniture is called fuwa pica, which loosely translated means ’soft and flashy’. It senses people’s presence, then gradually changes colour accordingly.
