Soft sculpture

[1] Soft sculpture is an old German technique very popular in Japan with artists like Yayoi Kusama boosting the heritages of this new and innovative medium for interior designers.

Claes Oldenburg and other members of the Art Pop Movement are accredited with the creation of soft sculpture.

[2] Oldenburg specifically would take average everyday items and make them larger than life; one of his most notable works of this time is the Floor Burger.

It contains a large hamburger patty nestled in the middle of two tan buns with a pickle for garnish on the top.

[2] Yayoi Kusama also is responsible for the rise of soft sculpture in the 1960s, although she believes that Claes Oldenburg copied some of her pieces.
