This is what their website says nendo created blown-fabric for Tokyo Fiber ’09 Senseware, an exhibition intended to convey the possibilities of new materials developed with Japanese synthetic fibre technology.
but all I can think is, Disney and Studio Ghibli, Enid Blyton and Ida Rentoul Outhwaite. I guess because these creations look like mushrooms and mushrooms are oft seen in fairytale type settings. Obviously there is nothing bad about that, it's okay to use nostalgia as a means to access art works. It also makes me want to read Enid Blyton's 'The Enchanted Wood' again...
