Rest Your Head on These 10 Geeky Pillows
Forget pillow talk, how about pillow tech? Who knew there was such a market for geeky pillows out there? I already surround myself with gadgets and geekery, so why not decorate my home with a few pillows that hold my tech, remind me of tech, or that are just tech-related?
Telephone Pillow: Love It or Leave It?
Big ups to the vintage telephone revival! Typewriters and Polaroids are hot, and now so are corded telephones, too. Case in point: the Telephone Pillow ($34) from Urban Outfitters.
iPod Pillow: Love It or Leave It?
Etsy sellers have located a sweet spot: geeky throw pillows. I've seen websites and other tech icons as pillows, but I'm really delighted by this iPod Pillow Cover ($18).
Rendered in soft gray (a better decor choice than Apple white), the pillow cover is made of soft felt recycled from plastic water bottles.
Robot Pillow Wants to Be Taken to Your Design Leader
Triumph! My Robot Home is almost complete. It seems I just need this Robot Pillow ($42) from Boodalee for my abode.
Pixelated Print Pillow: Love It or Leave It?
Geeky pillows that also look extra luxe? Color me happy. These pixelated-floral print Mixelated Pillows (about $53) are pretty darn cool looking, and they seem to bring your computer screen to life for your interior.
Mix Tapes on Your Pillow Make For Sweet Dreams
Where has the mix tape trend popped up now? In bed.
The Mix Tape Pillow Case Set ($25) is appropriate, since mix tapes used to be the last thing I'd listen to at night, preferably made by a crush or a friend with really great taste in music.
Brrring, Brrring, It's For You!
"Hello, operator! Can ya give me number nine?!"
Anyone else love the convenience of their cell phone but secretly think it's really romantic to have had to sit at a designated telephone chair and then talk to the local switchboard operator about whom you needed to phone?
Ikea Brada Laptop Cushion, for Cozy Time
I've never really been that into laptop cushions, mostly because they remind me of those padded desks I used as a kid on road trips.
They've just never seemed that comfortable — until I spotted the Brada laptop cushion on a trip to Ikea this weekend.
Its comfy half-moon shape would be ergonomic, and easier to use when you just want to sink into your couch — or, as per their staging suggestion, while chillaxin' in bed.
Interactive "Wired" Pillows: Perfect For Long Distance Lovers
Whether it be the fiber optic heart pillows or the REi Huggable Pillow, pillows and geeks go hand-in-hand, and this one is no exception. The Interactive Pillows from Design Goteborg are actually wired with electroluminescent wire that enables the pillows to connect to a communication service (wirelessly) and interact with other wired pillows. When a pillow is touched, hugged or leaned against, it will activate the pattern on the other pillow to glow and will change with various movements.
Fire Flower Pillow: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Am I crazy for thinking that the vintage Mario graphic of the Fire Flower on this pillow would work in with modern decor? For those who come into your home and don't recognize its provenance, they'd probably just think that you appreciate geometric pop-art designs, and those who do recognize it would demand to know where you got it so they can get their own.
You could go full geek throttle and pair it with the Space Invaders pillow, or just mix the flower in with your other, more subdued throw pillows.
