Dear YOU, yes YOU! YOU are holding in your hands a lovely, beautiful, gentle and generous example of humanity.

This is not a regular pillow. This is the embodiment of a good-natured, caring heart that protects and cuddles.

Here is why:

For 10 days the knitted wrap of this pillow was a part of a social experiment during “One design week” festival. The dynamic installation Colorful Circles was constructed of 112 different wraps that covered the little round benches, at the center of Plovdiv. The project’s objective was to examine how the audience will react to the change of the city environment and how actively they will interact with it. The wraps were left unprotected during the whole festival, left only at the mercy of the people’s pro-activeness, consciousness and esthetical taste. 45 of them had found a better place to exist, but 67 managed to survive and live through the whole period. And now, YOU, yes YOU, posses one of those 67 lucky pillows. Lucky YOU! Spread the word and treasure that pillow like nothing else.
