UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Wishes Pillow (Pages) is comprised of three pieces of pillow cores with different materials and partition designs. Three pieces of pillow cores are connected in a S type way. Multiple combinations and five kinds of comfort can be realized by all sorts of folding, so as to fulfill users’ various demands of comfort of pillows.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: These three pieces of pillow cores refer to a cool comfort layer, a warm comfort layer and a support layer. The cool comfort layer is comprised of mulberry silk, suitable for summer, while the warm comfort layer is comprised of goose down, suitable for winter and people who like soft pillows.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The designer proposed a new method to change the function of the pillow by folding. Mulberry silk with good breathable performance forms a cool comfort layer to meet users’ needs in the hot and humid summer. Meanwhile, goose down can ensure great warmth in the winter. The support layer is mainly made of natural Thailand latex particles which can strongly support the cervical spine.
CHALLENGE: To highlight reasonable functions, the pillow is divided into three parts, a warm comfort layer, a cool comfort layer and a support layer. By folding in different ways, users can choose the most comfortable layer. The cool comfort layer is made of mulberry silk, suitable for summer, while the warm comfort layer is made of goose down, suitable for winter and people who like soft pillows. It’s suitable for spring if users put the cool comfort layer on top. Otherwise, it’s suitable for autumn.
