Sweet Dreams on Your ID Pillow

7

A little company in the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg, Illinois, is making a big splash in the twittersphere with their couch pillows!

Check this out:

The pillows are only 12 inches square, so you might want to get the whole set ($80):

According to MySuiteStuff.com, all the pillows are “100% hand-made” so you might have to wait a few weeks until your order comes in.

Looking closely at them, I think they’re a combination of the CS3 (white letters) and CS4 (more pastel-y colors) icons. I guess making the letters transparent so you could see the couch through them would be a little difficult to do by hand.

    Cool. Buy ’em now because I see a “Cease and Desist” letter arriving in their mailbox soon.

  • Phyllis says:

    Funny, but I’m actually tempted…. :-)

  • Klaus Nordby says:

    Actually, since all the letters are all-white, as in the CS3 icons, whereas the CS4 icons all have black letters, they’re really CS3 pillows — with only a twist of color-blindness, perhaps. If I’d lived in the US (and not have to deal with shipping to Norway), I might have sprung for these!

    Where is the love for Bridge?

    If I got this I’d have dreams of picas and guidelines running through my head.

  • Nadya Miloserdova says:

    CS4 icons have SEMI-TRANSPARENT black letter. The feathers should be showing. Ok, half-showing.

    Anyway, cute pillows.

  • Nahla Anwer says:

    Loool…. CS4 has become so embeded in my brain that I think if a pillow will help do some of the work, I’ll buy it!

  • JK says:

    I hate to be a spoilsport, but are they allowed to do that? I could see a great range of T-shirts that I could sell…
