From Devastating Bomb to Floating Coat Rack
Well here’s a unique way to memorialize Hiroshima. Hirosima (sic) combines the magical wonder that is the “Red Balloon” to prop up a weapon the forever changed history. Put your esoteric thinking caps on. The balloon keeps the bomb from landing, therefor preventing devastation. The bomb is turned into a mundane utilitarian object by becoming a coat rack, essentially castrating it of its original intent.
Designers: Mehmet Erdi Özgürlük & Anıl Ercan

Every designer has a role on the planet i think. Someone designs green, someone designs useful product. Your role is design the "peace". Good Job!

oh… It is very moving. to be honest the frist time i saw it, it could be dangerous because it can cause hostility from Japaness people but after I read the explanation, It is very moving, and tourching. Brilliant!

But… Yeah it is a problem. He didn't have to choose Hirosima, I suppose it would be better not to mention Hirosima… Anyway what he meant is good : )

Don't you think the balloon might leak after a while?
