Description
Dunne and Raby’s work is designed to probe and question our relationship with objects. The Huggable Mushroom, developed with Michael Anastassiades, is part of the collection Design for Fragile Personalities in Anxious Times. The soft, toylike object allows users to confront (and cuddle) their fear of nuclear annihilation directly.
