Words

Certain homeware items do a great job of speaking to the interests of their owner, and are not just bland, unnoticeable objects. This example pays homage to the Whole Earth Epilog – a later edition in Stuart Brand's revered series, published in 1974 – and moreover serves as an attractive and useful couch cushion.

Available at Silver and Gold

what started as a 60's counter culture catalog of american goods is now a graphic for a decorative polyester pillow?
