Designed by Electric Feathers, these unique knot pillows provide a fun alternative to the traditional four sided decorative cushions. The pillows are not only visually intriguing but also functional, allowing owners to play with the tubes, twisting and turning them into various knots.
The tubes are stuffed with cotton and are covered in silk pongee material. The outer material is then hand-painted in a spattered design, with two base coloring options of beige or black. While they may not be as comfortable as traditional couch and lounge chair cushions, they certainly add a focal point of interest for home owners and visitors to discuss.
Great for boating aficionados, sailors or nostalgic boy scouts, these knot pillows are a fun gift for many.
