Choosing materials for the scale and schedule

The brief called for a chair-sized mushroom on a tight schedule. Although 3D printing was considered, the scale and available time led to a build using polystyrene foam and soft foam clay.

Working from supplied concept art

The fabrication began with concept art supplied by adidas. The form evolved during sculpting, and real mushrooms were added to the final structure.
