“We’ve recreated the scene from Alice in Wonderland where Alice falls down the rabbit hole. Suspended in mid-air, Alice, along with a chair, a magic mirror, a chessboard, picture frames, playing cards, and a teapot pouring water, all come together to convey the enchanting, whimsical nature of the fairy tale.

When we press the mushroom, it lights up the layers of the fantastical realm. The bookshelves stretch infinitely, like a tree hollow that seems to go on forever.
