This throw isn’t a new thing, but I do keep admiring the design whenever I come across it. If you look closely, you can see images of tanks and grenades amidst the animals.

“The ordinary throw blanket may be a bit taboo in the design industry, seeing as its main function is to cover an old and unseemly couch… but when Marcel Wanders, Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel get ahold of it, it’s another story altogether! Decorated with bold, graphic patterns, the July and Pantheon Throws are elegant and unexpected heirlooms, capable of transforming any room with their warm and inviting atmosphere. If you don’t have an old couch that needs to be saved, they look equally great draped over the bed, hung on a wall, or used as a tablecloth for those extra special occasions.”

These are awfully pretty.

Yes, these could probably be found in a college dorm room, but I kind of like them anyways.

Though cashmere and skulls aren’t normally in the same sentence, they do go together nicely as a pillow.

“A grinning ghoul invites friends to cuddle up to this 100% cashmere cushion. A great gift for dorm-dwellers. Filled with feather down. Made in Italy. Brown/orange. Measures 20″ x 20″.”

These pillows are pretty cute (if tools can be cute); the print’s a perfect accent for a bed or sofa in any modernist DIY-er’s home.

Not sure why military vehicles are so appealing on a pillow, but they are for some reason.

These are quite the thing to catch the eye in a living or bedroom area.

“All pillows are limited editions of a 100 pieces per design.
