Pillowig - The Last Travel Pillow You’ll Ever Buy

Witness “Pillowig“:

“Pillowig” is hand made wearable pillow comforting trieness of people in daily lives, enabling users to sleep comfortably whenever and whenever they’d like. When user test is done in public spaces - subway, airplane, library, class room and laundromat, viewers commented: “I would like to have it for my trip.”, “Very funny.” “This is practical, but a laugh, too.” I made 50 limited editions and sold 47 pieces at the exhibition of the work and gained “Pillowig” fans. Two months later fans did a group performance piece at the Old Palace, Seoul.

Stylish, comfortable, practical, and the security of having it strapped to your head and knowing you couldn’t lose it if you tried. What more could you possibly ask of a travel pillow?

Hat tip: The Presurfer.

No way, no how, would I ever board a Greyhound with that on my head.

C’mon, Sam. You’re just not being a “forward thinker”.

I could totally picture myself being super jetlagged, forgetting I was wearing that thing and strolling through the airport wondering, “Why the hell is everybody staring at me?”

Ladies, I’m not going to lie. It’s hot.

Put down Cosmo and listen to what I’m saying: the Pillowig is the next thing.

Yeah… I wouldn’t wear Cosmo strapped to my head, either…

Maybe Curve, though. That could start some interesting conversations!

I could be wrong here, but maybe it’s an art installation…just throwing that out there…
