Guessing how many balls are in the bar is not a new drinking game, and for anyone familiar with cricket the fact that this counter is in the posh private Paris club of Le Cercle will probably hit the irony wicket. Just out of interest, the answer if 3200. Mut-Architecture, a collective bridging New York's South Bronx and Paris, is responsible for this quirk-in-the-quintessential response to a 'classical British aesthetic'. It's the latest project from a team that has built an igloo out of cardboard boxes and last year worked with the Waste for Life network and the rubbish pickers ('Cartoneros') in Buenos Aires to produce the back-flip chair.
