Rest Your Weary Head

Michaela Scherrer Pillows

Back at work the day after the day after New Year’s Eve. Sigh.

Now would be a good time for a Mi pillow. Besides sitting there and looking pretty, these scented cozies are therapeutic.

Inspired by everything from raw wood doors to Japanese lace, designer Michaela Scherrer works with scraps of vintage French linen, Japanese cotton, and Italian leather in mellow hues like rose, sage, cocoa, silver, and white and often laser cuts materials for her four pretty collections (Patterns, Shimmer, Solids, and Sustainable).

Then there’s the lavender. Each of the softies are partially filled with the buds, but you can custom order via e-mail and opt for buckwheat, orange, or whatever suits you.

But you don’t need to decide right now.

Just sleep on it.

Available at Salt, 1138½ Abbot Kinney Boulevard, between Westminster Avenue and Aragon Court, Venice (310-452-1154). To see styles, go to michaelascherrer.com.
