I am an absolute sucker for textured textiles so looolo’s pillows and blankets are right up my alley. Why have plain, even pillows when you can find one with a bed of tightly packed ruffles? Or rows of perfectly placed tabs? Or interesting bumps directly down the center? Her pillows encourage touch rather than simply something pleasant to look at.

What’s more…how many pillows can you think of that can be safely composted? ? I don’t think I have ever uttered that phrase before in my life. Joanna Notkin considered every environmental aspect possible when designing her pieces so they leave as little an imprint on our earth as possible. There are no zippers or other non-biodegradable closures on the cushions, the wool yarns and fabric are all organic, the pillows are stuffed with Indonesian kapok (a fiber from the Ceiba tree seed pod), and the dyes are free of toxic chemicals. If only more things in this world would have a similar claim. If only. (via Design Public)
