portability, practicality and comfort come together for the design of ostrich pillow light, a plush, transportable sleeping unit that fits around around your head, acting as a cozy mask for a public nap. following the success of the original ostrich pillow, designer kawamura-ganjavian of studio banana things wanted to conceive a streamlined and approachable model for commuters and frequent flyers, while maintaining the product’s unique appearance. urban travelers spend an average of 1 hour each day transporting to and from work, and studies show that a 20 minute power nap can increase productivity by more than 30%; the snug face bumper is a perfect way to benefit from useless transit time.
the quirky cushion is filled with silent, silicon coated micro-beads for sound reduction and buoyancy, and an adjustable elastic ring allows power-nappers all of sizes to use it comfortably. the soft fabric padding that surrounds the inside of the napping device is available in two color variations: original blue and red. ostrich pillow light is currently seeking funding on kickstarter, and you can support the project here.
