Tatami Box Pillow

The D.STYLE tatami box pillow is made of natural Japanese igusa rush, the same as used to make traditional tatami flooring. Igusa has many unique properties. The overlapping honeycomb-like hexagonal structures found inside each stalk allows igusa to absorb formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide and unwanted odours. Igusa is also a deodorizer as it contains phytoncides - antimicrobial organic compounds - which emit a natural, grassy fragrance, to freshen the air. Igusa is 2.5 times as moisture absorbent as cotton.

This box pillow is large enough to use as a day pillow, a back support or an arm rest. It works well on a bed or couch, to rest the head or provide body support. The stuffing is from polyethelene pipe, so maintains its shape and stiffness during and after use. The denim ties on the edges can be adjusted to determine the pillow's stiffness

The edges are trimmed with blue Japanese denim, made by KAIHARA Denim, established in 1893. The D.STYLE range is a collaboration between IKEHIKO and KAIHARA to bring iconic Japanese tatami and denim together in homeware products.

Dimensions: 30cm (L) x 15cm (W)
