a·me·no·ma·ni·a nounDelirium in which the imagination wanders through joyful things.

Since we created this bench, we feel that the workshop has been invaded by small, camouflaged wooden creatures. In the morning it\'s an elephant, in the afternoon it turns out to be a sheep. We look away and when we look back, that assembly of wood has undergone another mutation and is no longer even an animal. We are victims of our imagination and we want to regain our sanity. Or better yet, we want to drag others with us and give life to these camouflaged beings. And so we thought of illustrators, who often take us into their imagination, to create their version.
