When it comes to nerdy home decor there’s no beating Throwboy’s Mac-inspired pillows, and this week the company launched a giant version of their most popular Apple-esque pillow.
And when I say giant I really do mean giant:
The design of the Icon pillow is —obviously— aping the look of the Finder icon that is synonymous with the Mac operating system. Throwboy has sold regular and mini-size versions of this pillow (it’s hard to not call it a cushion – I’m British) since 2007.
But now it’s available in a new jumbo size measuring a mammoth 37-inches by 37-inches — making it less of a pillow and more of a doggy day bed!
Like Throwboy’s (many other tech-themed) soft furnishings, this super-sized, super-friendly Finder face is made from soft, plush materials in the US and includes a poly filling for a “cuddly, bouncy feel” — sounds perfect for snuggling into.
So how much does it cost?
You might want to grab a pillow to cushion the blow: the new jumbo icon pillow costs $390/£310 (excluding shipping).
It can be shipped to the US, UK, and Canada but due to its weight (16lbs/7kg — the same heft as a 17-inch iMac G5 from 2005) shipping adds a sizeable chunk on top of the cost, so do keep that in mind.
If the size of this thing, or the size of its price, puts you off Throwboy offer plenty of cheaper, smaller versions, including a 13-inch version ($47/£38) ideal for a sofa, bed, office chair (psst, makes a great gift for a Mac-obsessed loved one).
