Throwboy launches a line of iconic pillows that recall familiar technology pieces from years priors -- this includes old smartphones, mp3 players, and computers. The collection sees five pieces in total, paying tribute to the technological pieces that lead us to where we are today. Unveiling the revolution of computers, the different eras that the pillows are dedicated to are the years 1977, 1984, 1998, 2001, and 2007. The cuddly pieces are constructed from soft fabrics and high-quality plush materials, finished with intricate embroidery to highlight the artisan craftsmanship. This intricacy also highlights the smooth contour details that imitate the original technology designs.
The 1977, 1984, and 1998 pillows reference the first few Apple MAC computers, the 2001 pillow recalls the iPod, and the 2007 marks the Smartphone.
