This hand embroidered subversive pillow is quite delightful. Each pillow has varying colors of embroidery and therefore is one of a kind.

This reminds me of the upstairs playroom of my daycare in the late 70’s. Totally in a good way.
I really like the geometric grid with the amorphous design layered on top.
“Koko Company Pillows. Cozy, delicate and wonderfully creative. Polysilk and georgette appliqué and embroidery. Koko is a celebration of natural fibers. Linen, cotton, raw silk fibers that breathe and give off an calm, pensive luster. The sturdy weave of the fabrics are lightened by the fluidity of hand appliqué, lace closures, cross stitch embroidery and novelty buttons.”

For $50, this pillow is quite an eye-catcher. Usually all the pillows I like are above the $70 mark, so it’s nice to see something a little less ‘spensive.
100% cotton, down and feather insert.

Hello. I love Thomas Paul’s pillows. Especially the silhouettes (I really want the white plate with the silhouette of the woman, but it seems to have sold out everywhere). And here they are on sale, in a few different color combinations. Aqua is shown here (front and back) but there’s also orange and green combinations as well. Don’t they make you happy?

Light Blue and Chocolate are one of the many pleasant color combinations, and it’s certainly done right in this graphic pillow by Inhabit. The fabric is Retrosuede, which is easier to clean but still feels like suede. With several size options, it may be just what your sofa or bed needs…

These pillows are quite possibly the perfect thing to spruce up your home . You’re bound to find a pattern and color you like, because they’re available in all sorts of combinations- much more than the small sample that I’ve posted above (my favorite is the silhouette one). And, if you’re not so fond of the Thomas Paul designs, there’s gads more of other irresistable modernish pillows on 2modern’s site.
“Exclusive patterns and colors are hand silk screened by master printers using centuries-old techniques. Colors are custom mixed by hand for each printing.”
(pillows are organized by color, then pattern)

This Thomas Paul Baroque pillow is the perfect thing for today, as it seems I’m only posting black and white stuff. 100% silk twill and filled with a high quality poly insert, this 18″ pillow “stands up to the rigors of being lounged upon”. The case zips off via a hidden zipper for easy cleaning.
(it’s not $70.00 like all the other pillows! hurray.)

I have a knack for picking pillows that cost around $75.00. It seems to be the popular price for a comfy hand silk screened (cotton muslin case) pillow. I’m fond of bringing the outdoors in, and this pillow would do just that.
Feather and down insert. Zippered closure.
