This Patchwork-Style Pillow Features a Pocket for Smartphones

For those who constantly worry about losing their smartphone between the couch cushions, 'Nendo' has designed a patchwork-style pillow that can be used to hold your mobile device.

The 'mobile-cushion' was designed by Nendo for the 'by | n' collection. The handy smartphone holder consists of a patchwork-style pillow with a pair of slots that can be used to secure a smartphone or a tablet. The slots are obscured by the patchwork arrangement, making the device a subtle storage solution.
