At present, the title began to dawn on me. It said: ‘The art of Japanese Joinery’, made in 1977

After a small peek into the content of this book, it occurred to me that it was filled only with old Japanese ways to attach two or more pieces of wood together. Not in the prefab-style we attach stuff these days, but on the most exquisite, caring and futuristic way possible. I felt for a moment so angry at our IKEA society where everything has to be cheap so you can buy a new sofa every four years, not caring about old handicrafts and their gift to make the most refined details. Details of such beauty that you have to suppress the urge to dismantle your closet only to see how it has been made. The tender approach of something so simple as to attach two pieces of wood together reminds me of the first book I had chosen, where Nabokov describes individual letters of the alphabet in the way he experienced them.

“Je ne suis pas du tout contre l’architecture moderne, mais je crois que l’on devrait faire passer non seulement un permis de construire, mais aussi un permis d’habiter” Jacques Tati, 1958. Deux Temps, Trois Mouvements - Expo Jacques Tati, Caermersklooster Ghent. 9/1/11. Picture taken by: Ingrid Hoeben The house that the Arpel’s live in has automatic everything. Windows, doors, gates, appliances and that aluminum fish-fountain all function with the push of a button. Windows look like eyeballs, and when M. and Mme. Arpel are backlit, they look like pupils peering out on the unsuspecting. Henri Schmitt was the production designer and Jacques Lagrange was employed as set designer.
