In ancient China, pillows were thought to guide and influence a person’s dreams, which were important because they were believed to influence your waking life. The design, color, material, and shape of a pillow were all specially chosen and had significance. This porcelain pillow, made over a hundred years ago in Southern China, would require the sleeper to rest in a specific position considered to be better for the body. With a wonderfully sculptural form, we like to see these curious cubes rich with history alone or in groups as sculpture, bookends and even beneath other objects to add height and dimension.

What They're Saying

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
