Parts and Metaphors

The Pillows

In crafting these pillows, I strive to weave a metaphor for life itself. Each pillow is a tapestry of memories, with the image on the front capturing a cherished moment—a place, a person, an event, or a vacation. The substantial zipper running across the fabric symbolizes the inevitable rough patches we encounter in our life journey, each struggle contributing to our strength. At the end of this zipper, a beautiful logo pull serves as a reminder that there is beauty to be found at the conclusion of every hardship. Just as we navigate the waves of adversity, it is crucial to either stand resilient against the tide of negativity, go with the flow of life, or trust that time has the power to wash away troubles. Within, the comfort of the pillow mirrors the intrinsic beauty we all possess on the inside. Just as the pillow’s interior offers solace, our hearts, when pure, become a source of comfort for those around us who may be facing their own struggles. These pillows, then, become not just decor but a tangible expression of the profound lessons life imparts.

Our Logo

Our logo is inspired by a blend of cherished memories and artistic heritage. I drew from the iconic Japanese artwork, "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," and a memorable weekend spent with my cousins at Cherry Beach on Lake Michigan in designing the logo. 

In this context, “The Great Wave” symbolizes the unstoppable surge of technology, especially AI and social media. While this technological wave can seem overwhelming and even disruptive— transforming how we experience simple joys like a Saturday with my cousins—it also brings unprecedented connectivity and creativity. That weekend at Cherry Beach represents a simpler time before smartphones and social media, when we spent the day hopping waves without posts, tags, or photos to commemorate the moment at all. It was a time when USB cables, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi were not a part of our daily lives yet. However, this powerful wave of technology has also enabled incredible advancements. AI tools, particularly Mid-Journey, were instrumental in bringing my pillow designs to life. With simple prompts and adjustments, I transformed my visions into stunning, meaningful pieces of art capable of enhancing any space. The “Great Wave” thus signifies the dual nature of technology—its ability to alter our experiences profoundly, yet also to connect us and facilitate the realization of our ideas in ways previously unimaginable. Our logo captures this dynamic, blending the beauty of tradition with the boundless possibilities of the future.
