barbie foot

Men and women fight over the smallest things. What if we come together and come to a compromise? Like a barbie table football machine?

'barbiefoot' by french design chloe ruchon combines the iconic doll with table football.
on one side it uses barbie's pink, frilly world and on the other its uses the predominantly
male world of table soccer, the one that is traditionally called 'babyfoot' in france.
barbie became a symbol of ideal femininity, with exacerbated body proportions
and a vast landscape of fantasies surrounding this cliche.

by bringing the two worlds together 'barbiefoot' wishes to stimulate thoughts
about different mentalities and the pre- digested everyday ideas we commonly face.


the ladies waited for the men to play.
fools! no men would ever walk near something this pink

no arms. a bit creepy

imagine all the fly hair when you actually play the game
like a Vidal Sasson ad on steroids

see something you like sista? wanna come get some?

roll 4, let's go to the ladies...
together!
