The impossible has been achieved - a piece of non tacky Google merchandise with style too. Yes I used the terms Google and style in the same sentence! The catch is that the designs are not actually endorsed BY Google.
The concept of these cushions is really clever - the text is he top 10 Google searches of a certain year; 2003($250), 2005($120) and 2006($120). They have printed on hand signed cushions so a work of art really.
The cushions would also provide endless scope for discussion - I mean why was the hottie that is Orlando Bloom so popular in 2006? Sadly they are mainly sold out.
