Vitra Bovist Floor Pillows – Dove

Bovist is a floor cushion that can be used like a stool or simply as something to lean on. Its compact, round shape is reminiscent of the head of a young mushroom or, more specifically, a puffball (Bovist in German). It gets this sympathetic shape from the layers of textiles that are joined with multiple seams on the sides.The cushion is filled with a mixture of polypropylene balls and granulate. It offers good seating comfort and stability at the same time. The most distinctive feature of the Bovist is its embroidered cover consisting of two different colored linen sewn together (the underside of the cover is made of light blue, washable polyester), and there is a knitted thread handle for moving Bovist to different places around your space.Designer, Hella Jongerius developed several motifs. The first motif, called Homework, shows the head of a girl engrossed in embroidery and is borrowed from a painting by the Dutch master Vermeer van Delft. The portrait is surrounded by a freely formed, looped pattern. The second motif, Porcelain, consists of an arrangement of ancient-looking pitchers with little embroidered hearts rising up between them like bubbles. Jongerious uses various stitching styles and different colored threads for the embroidery. It gives the images additional charm.
