DESIGN NAME: Whale 0
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Pillow
INSPIRATION: The pillow draws inspiration from whales swimming in the ocean, which, as a large and gentle creature, symbolize peace and protection. The whale shaped pillow is expected to bring the vastness and tranquility of the ocean to the bedroom, making every sleep become a spiritual voyage. Taking into account the streamlined body of whales, the pillow shape is further optimized to ensure that the pillow provides the optimum comfort and support for users regardless of sleeping positions.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The artistic pillow with a unique bionic whale shaped design emotionally gives a sense of peace and safety. It can perfectly adapt to various sleeping positions, which well fits and supports the head, face and neck. Carbon dioxide polyol and natural bio vegetable oil polyols as main materials align with the idea of environmental protection. The distinctive materials, and the fully water blown green foaming process, offering users a 0 pressure comfortable sleeping experience.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The design fully considers convenience of use. The unique ergonomic whale shaped pillow, through meticulous adjustments to the shape, can flexibly adapt to various sleeping positions like sleeping on the stomach, back or side. Thanks to its materials and structure, it can perfectly fit and support the head, face and neck, avoiding the discomfort during sleep. The materials, also featuring outstanding hydrophilic properties, are dry, crisp and breathable, ensuring a more comfortable experience.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The product started its design in October, 2023 in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu, and will be launched in September, 2024 in China, America, Germany, Japan, etc.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design
