About the Item

This hand-crafted pillow was designed by a local Chicago artist and textile historian who lovingly repurposes the vintage fabrics, garments and embroidery fragments she collects during her travels. Down-filled and backed with red linen, this plush throw pillow is sewn from a mid-century Finnish rya rug of knotted red wool. A traditional craft throughout Scandinavia, rya rugs are known for their long, shaggy wool piles meant to imitate animal fur and were originally used as heavy blankets by mariners to keep them warm during cold nights at sea.
