Hans Hopfer, Canape Player...
"place your bets"



















Currently fixated on the 1973 edition of Hans Hopfer's Canape Player.

Endless possibilities and an ad campaign that gives me goosebumps.
Oh, 1973, come back.
Need more fix? Go here to Roche Bobois's Musée Virtuel.

Head spinning. 1984 and 2008!

But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby, yeah, yeah!"

"Something’s going on, a change is taking place
Children smiling in the street have gone without a trace
This street used to be full, it used to make me smile
And now it seems that everyone is walking single file
And many hand their heads in shame
That used to hold them high
And those that used to say hello
Simply pass you by

Think for a minute, stop for a minute
Think for a minute, stop for a minute"

lyrics by the housemartins

















"And nothing I could say
Could ever make them see the light.
Now apathy is happy that
It won without a fight....."
