Sofa, So Good

pilloh pillow!

Things parents and kids agree on: Ice cream is yummy, boogers are gross, and no one should ever have to watch Grandma remove her dentures.

More common ground to share: a love for Pilloh pillows.

Created by Lincoln Park graphic designer Marjie Best, the compact new cushions appeal to every age set with Charley Harper-meets-Binth original graphics. Motifs (elephants, birds, monkeys, alphabets) are printed with ecofriendly, water-based inks on organic cotton. And allergen-free, poly-fill inserts help keep sneeze-prone munchkins restful.

Best also whips up custom designs, and each style is also available as wall art.

Now that’s an idea you can sink your teeth into.
