Appreciation towards nendo for providing the following description:

2013年东京设计周期间，nendo与西泽立卫合作在京都大学的校园中创建出一个艺术亭。西泽立卫先设计的亭子，然后nendo再进行设计家具。西泽立卫设计的亭子巧妙的沿着草木葱郁的陡峭山体布局。屋顶就像是一片灵活的墙一样界定出一个开放的空间，就如同西泽立卫的大多作品那样，明亮而开放，自然触手可及。为此nendo认为在这样一个亭子中，如同真菌般的家具最适合不过。这些如同蘑菇般的大小形状不一的精灵家具聚集在屋顶附近，场所的角落里，楼梯与石墙的缝隙中，亭子的柱子旁。他们就像是真正的野生动物，并在某个点与扶手完美过渡，实现设计的“自然生长”。一组属于自然的屋顶和家具。

A small pavilion on the campus of Kyoto University of Art and Design, born from a collaboration between architect Ryue Nishizawa and design office nendo. The location: a steep hill face covered in luxurious vegetation. On a clear day, you can almost count the 36 crests of the hills that line Kyoto’s eastern edge. The adjacent area is earmarked for a new grove of Japanese plum trees,  and their fragrant early spring blossoms will only add to an already beautiful site.

Nishizawa used a single roof to incorporate these elements into the pavilion’s design. The roof is subtly inclined to follow the angle of the site. Dipping under it, visitors realise that the roof, delightfully and ambiguously, is also a wall. The pavilion’s spatial experience is intended to remind visitors of walking in the mountains under thick tree cover. To date, many of Nishizawa’s buildings have felt like bright, open and airy fields or gardens, and the furniture inside them like wildflowers that blur the boundary between interior and exterior space while adding brightness and color. But for the shady interior of this wooden structure, clinging onto the hillside exposed to the elements, we thought that furniture like fungi would be much more appropriate. Our mushroom-like stools for the space were handmade by artisans to slightly different shapes and sizes, giving a more natural effect. The stools’ layout – clustered at the base of pillars, or in the nooks and crannies by stone walls and staircases – evokes the way that mushrooms grow in the wild, and details like a handrail that transforms into a mushroom continue the metaphor. We wanted to design architectural elements that would ‘grow’ naturally from the space, rather than to put furniture in a room.
