The first is words, a poem by Hiroshi Osada, the second is formed through pen drawings by Yoshie Watanabe and the third consists of physical objects, the simple jewellery crafted by Etsuko Sonobe. Together, the three layers translate into a narrative about two girls passing time through various activities, whether it be picking fruit or digging sand. Colour and shape play important roles, as the childlike drawings and jewellery pieces reflect both each other and the poem itself.

Summary:
Le quatrième numéro de Typologie, collection de livres de design sur les objets ordinaires, est dédié à la cagette en bois, objet familier et fugace questionné ici sous toutes ses facettes. On rencontre la cagette sur les marchés de plein vent. Echafaudée en pile et arrangée en étals, elle achemine puis expose les fruits et légumes. Submergée par ces denrées, on en distingue à peine la tranche. Ainsi l'œil vadrouille du poireau au navet et ne s'en soucie guère. Pourtant ce maillon de la chaîne alimentaire mérite qu'on s'y attarde. Depuis 60 ans, sa forme est intacte : quelques fines lattes de peuplier agrafées en claire-voie régulent l'humidité des légumes en même temps qu'elle les ventile. Malgré cette apparente pauvreté et son assemblage rudimentaire, elle incarne l'équilibre entre légèreté, résistance et économie de matière. Elle fige ainsi l'évolution des contenants alimentaires depuis les vanneries rurales jusqu'aux cageots ré-utilisables. De ces modèles anciens, son industrie conserve aussi une fabrication organisée selon des schémas vertueux. Une échelle humaine, locale, à proximité des champs et des forêts. Une production saisonnière, à l'image des denrées qu'elle transporte. Elle est questionnée ici sous toutes ses facettes à travers le regard de trois professionnels sensibles et renseignés à son sujet : un industriel, un historien et un illustrateur.

Summary:
Since the dawn of time, people have been fascinated by the idea of traveling to the stars, which is vividly illustrated by utopian and dystopian works of architecture, the visual arts, and cinematography. This book presents the results of in-depth research and extensive travels through a total of seven countries. Its prime focus is the impact of space exploration on everyday life in its pioneering age between the late 1950s and the 1980s and the persistence of related concepts and utopian ideas in today's society. Told as a visual story, it combines artistic and documentary photography, portraits of contemporary witnesses, landscape snapshots, and historical documents. It is in part an historical investigation since many of the pioneers of the space age are no longer alive and many of the formerly ubiquitous items have disappeared.
