    I've just bought a white chair for our livingroom, and I find the chair a bit too "nice and cute". The cushion would be perfect to rock it up a bit.

  • Nora says:

    What a cool cushion! It would look great on our grey Ikea Karlstad sofa. And it would match perfectly with the grey cushions we already have.

    Jag skulle ge den till min 7-åriga dotter som älskar att rita, gärna döskallar! (Hon bad mig häromdagen att rita en pirat med en dödskalle på hatten men blev jättearg när hon inte tyckte att dödskallen blev tillräckligt bra.)Här skulle vi båda kunna lära oss hur de egentligen ser ut! Hon skulle tycka den är "asacool" och den skulle passa fint i hennes fortfarande lite prinsessaktiga rum.
    Mvh Helena

    We have a grey modern-lookin' sofa and on that sofa, between a couple of burnt orange cushions the sand grey skull would fit in perfectly.

    Cool pillow!

    I would put it in my black sofa.
    Everything else is white, so I have this in black and other black details, and beautiful wooden floors.
    This pillow would be nice combination.

    And I have to mention that my mom and my mother in love hate skulls so I hope that they wont like this pillow and then they won't stay a long time at my sofa (and in house) when they are in visit :)

    For en kul pute. Den vil jeg gjerne vinne. Denne puten ville jeg hatt liggende på en puff i stuen siden den er så stor. Den ville passet fint sammen med de grå slettvoll stolene vi har. I tillegg ville jeg brukt trelysestaken og andre naturelementer til å lage et miljø rundt puten.

    I have quite a collection of cushions that act like pictures (instead of framed and on the wall)- there are laughing buddhas, birds (by my 7 year old), elephants, words, abstract objects, trees, etc. That skull would definitely sit comfortably and attractively in my rockin' cushion gallery :-)

    My ex-boyfriend once stole an authentic white Eames Plastic Armchair out of our university... it must have rotted there since the early 60. I have ditched him in the meantime, but the chair is still my officechair... that pillow would rock on it!

    What a cool,edgy yet classy cushion!!! If I won this beautiful cushion,I would probably put it in our master bedroom,seeing as its all white and i have a large black and grey rather dark feeling painting in that room...so that cushion would fit right in. :)

    Oh my god! I Love it!!
    This would be the perfect present for my best friend! He is an artist and in his atelier on his black leather couch it would be amazing!!!
    Or should I keep it for myself and put it in my pinkish girly-bedroom.... Amazing, too!!! =)

  • Maria says:

    I would place it in my big grey sofa - togehter with my other cushions in purple and grey and next to one with a purple flower. A flower and a skull will be a cool contrast!

  • Joanne K says:

    It would really help improve the murky brown leather sofa that came with our rented apartment. ‎I have been doing my best with sheepskin and throws but this might just be the thing to pull it all ‎together. ‎

  • Anna Sofie says:

    I have high ceiling about 8 meters. Which is unusual in a otherwise cheap studio apartment. Here I have my beloved hammock chair which I use for everything - I take my afternoon nap, eating, rocking from side to side like a baby and reading blogs constantly! The chair is made of echru rope braided in a pattern resembling a spiderweb. This means when you get up from the chair you look like a sausage with the marks of the rope! Oh yes. The cushion would look great in the hammock chair, rocking the echru/black minimalistic wibe I already got going on, but futhermore I spend to many hours in that chair and I need to make the stay a bit more pleasant ;)

    2011-11-21 | 10:27:56
  • Kira says:

    wow, I love it!

    I'd put it on my white couch, together with my other black and white pillows - it would fit perfectly! Especially if I get the black sheep skin for Christmas, that I wished for! ;)

    I would put it on the new gray Muuto Rest sofa which should be delivered any day now. The cushion skull will be able to have long conversations with the ACNE JR Kranium skull on the little coffee table next to the sofa!

    I will put it on our floor together with another big cushion I bought from Istanbul, it would be the perfect contrast to it and they will become best friend forever. ;) Great blog, I recently found it!

  • Ericka Hedlund says:

    I've been eying this pillow since when I first saw it last year. I love it! It would definitely go on our couch. Our apartment is really tiny (50 meters squared) so this is the perfect piece to make a statement. We have two other pillows on our couch, one large and grey from Granit and the other a small, beige IKEA. The couch is old, worn leather with a grey sheepskin across the middle. I think the pillow would look perfect on the couch. And since it's one of the first things you see when you enter the apartment it would help set the kind of "creepy cool" mood we're trying to achieve.
    Thanks for this giveaway!

    As much as I would love to use this linen cushion as a decor on my monochromatic bed, I guess I would have to sacrifice it to my tabby cat Simon as a cat bed, as I just destroyed his beloved blanket and chair (covered in pale beige linen) last night, by spilling a whole glass of homemade chokeberry wine on in (and the poor Simon as well):)) I bet Simon would definitely enjoy the new fancy bed ;)

  • anna-lena says:

    Great ! I will put it behind my back in my grey/cerise sofa while i am looking att Dr House on Tv in the evenings. I think that is the perfect combination.

  • edyta says:

    i would use that cushion for my comfort while i read crime books and as a company at the same time, i love this skull>

  • Sarah C says:

    I would put this cushion on a newly bought but old church pew which is in our entrance way, it would sit with a blue/grey thick throw and look ace for autumn/winter. I like just the hint of something different in a room and this skull would make it.

    2011-11-21 | 10:47:42
  • Alexandra K says:

    Id put it on my pink sofa. I don't have any pillows on it, so the skull pillowcase would attract attention!

  • Jamie says dream says:

    I would like to have it in my livingroom, in my red sofa...but I think I would give it to my 15 year old son. In his room it's mostly black, white and grey. This cool pillow would fit very well in his worn black leather POÄNG armchair or on his bed. I think he would like it as much as I do!

  • scarlett says:

    seen as i LOVE all sorts of skulls (you can even see it in my blog-title and header, lol), i'd put this lovely cushion on my couch next to my 'love' cushion (that you find here: http://beautifulinsidemyhead.blogspot.com/2011/07/love-cushion.html).

    skulls symbolize the short the lives we have here on earth are - and to find love is the main goal in life. so i this will be the perfect match.

  • Katrine says:

    In my dreamhome I would place it on the couch or maybe on the bed, with black and purple, or with black, grey, orange and yellow, because my boyfriend loves the rocked style and I love colors, so I try to mix and match.. Together with other rough cushions and pictures on the wall to match.. Maybe some studs (I think it's called studs...) and more skeletons or skulls, I love skulls! I just haven't gotten around to using them in interior yet... But someday...

    Hej Emma!
    Som lite smyg-inflyttad hos min pojkvän skulle jag nog lätt få ha denna läckra kudde brevid hans mjuka renfäll (som jag köpt) i soffan. Jag försöker ge honom en mjuk touch i sitt maskulina hem, den här skulle han älska! Och jag med.

    What a great cushion and what a perfect timing now that I just moved 2 days ago.

    This cushion would be a great highlight on my black leather couch and loose up the strictness of its style. Combined with 2 darker cushions it would be brilliant to just nestle down in it looking out of these enormous windows i have and enjoying life with a glass of wine. And I actually think that it will fit even better once I finished building my coffee table out of concrete and wood.

    This beautiful cushion would also be perfect to just lay down on the floor in front of those windows and read a book - it's definitely big enough.

    I will put it in my bed, because I dont have my own sofa.. There I will put i next to my two pillows with flowers and colors, It would be the perfect opponent.. My style is not very flower and colorish, so I need something simple and raw, like this pillow.

  • Parker Meyer says:

    I would like to try it in my mid-century Danish design teak and cherry wood slatted lounge chair. The original back cushion is 60cm x 70cm and beat. I think the skull and linen would be a nice update and the pale cool colors would contrast with the warms of the wood giving an unexpected result.

  • Ninette says:

    I would put it in my kitchen sofa - it would look just perfect in our mostly white kitchen and aqua floor. I love to mix things, put some unexpected things where you wouldn't expect to find them and a skull sofa in the kitchen would definitely not be expected! Besides, I love skulls, and this would be a cheaper option than the Damien Hirst-skull which I will never be rich enough to buy. Obviously!:)

    I would put it front of my desktop, I am designing my first jewelry collection as my Thesis. I'm using bones as my material.. So the pillow could work as my source of inspiration and I also could take a power nap with it . I love the raw and clean look!

    Just moved flat and the landlord is aesthetically challenged, I'd use it to help distract from the sofa. I have a vintage french acid bottle on the console table behind it, so it'd make for a cool apothecary feel!

    It would be a fitting addition to my office, make long days at the desk so much more comfortable AND at the same time provide a handy reference for the archaeological human skeletal remains I analyse for a living.

    How nice news and once again how cool giveaway Emma!

    I'd give the pillow as a Christmas gift to my brother whose one room apartment we decorated last year. This would be the perfect twist his room is still missing. He lives in a beautiful old jugend house with a high window, deep window bay, black painted wooden floors, white painted walls with one black and grey wall papered accent wall. The pillow would be perfect on his black sofa, light with a rock'n roll twist. I'm sure he would love it and I'd be so proud to give it to him as a gift!

    I'm currently in a school dormitory and am moving out after graduation (in May!). In my head, I have a beautiful, white-washed room decorated with hints of color and fun room accessories such as this one! This cushion would be such a great start and inspiration for my new life in my new room.

    I would most definitely keep it on my bed and have it surrounded with more white pillows to keep the room's minimalist aesthetic. I also want those really cool skull candles I'm seeing everywhere. I think it's funny to think about decorating a new room with a skull-- maybe the juxtaposition will make it easier for me to adjust to a new environment.

    Den skulle ligga fint i min LC2-fåtölj (kopia), där jag saknar en kudde just nu. Fåtöljen saknar huvudstöd så den här skulle dessutom vara väldigt praktisk som det. Som det är nu brukar jag få ta en kudde från sängen när den används vilket kan bli lite besvärligt.

    Jag har en förkärlek för döda ting, och med mina dödskalleaccessoarer, kohudsmatta och rådjurshornslampa skulle denna kudde passa utmärkt i mitt svart/vita rum.

    loving this cushion. i would put it on a chaise lounge because it looks worthy on sinking into but before long it would have been pulled onto the bare floorboards by my 2 year old daughter and used to divebomb off the couch....then it would become a boat and finally it would once again be a cushion wherever she had decided to have a nap. on 'design' days it would rest between some French flour sack cushions on our stormy grey couch.

    Jag har precis flyttat till en ny lägenhet och med en liten budget fick jag och min pojkvän renovera och bygga mycket själva. Vi har byggt en egen soffa av lastpallar och på det har vi lagt madrass och sytt en överdrag som är svart och vit. Vi har fortfarande inga kuddar till soffan eftersom jag inte hittar fina (till rimliga priser). Den här kudden skulle passa så perfekt! Jag skulle nog matcha det med svarta och gråa kuddar. Då skulle döskalle kudden sticka ut och rocka till "soffhörnan".

    I would put it on our bed in our freshly painted flat white bedroom. It would look wonderful amongst my grey, black & white bedding!

    Next month I'm moving to another city and I think it would a very good start to redecorate all over again. I said "stop" to vivid colours! Now it's time to gain pure scandinavian design with a lot of wood and blach&white colours. And I don't have to mention that gift from Bolina will help me to achieve this goal ... This cushion would perfectly match to my beautiful black armchair I'm planning to buy. Armchair will be stand between window and bookshelf. Great place for relax after a tough day at work. There's only one tiny problem - when my boyfriend notice this little treasure on my chair, one thing I'm sure - I would not enjoy this cushion too long. What can I say more - cushion ist just marvelous! It is worth fighting for!

    I world put it in my sons room. He's sooo into pirats and skulls at the moment and I'd like a cool skull to look at. I would match it with his teddybear, Melker, to remind him that he's still a kid nomatter what he say! And they will look so cool together...

    Ahhh. This would be p e r f e c t in my sofa, next to my raw wooden table. To mix it with a black n white theme (and a hint of pink maybe) would be dream come true:):)

    I adore a bed with linen, and this pillow would look darling in the nestle of black & white pillows, and cream & charcoal ikat in silk paired with the mist grey walls with painted- on- the- wall headboard in dark grey loose brush- strokes. I often stay up reading in bed late at night after my daughter has fallen asleep and need a substantial sized pillow to accompany me on these word journeys!!
    thank you!!

    It would be great in my black leather chair I sit in, reading horror books :)

    This one would go on my bed that's centering my studio apartment mancave. My black bed cover is guarded by a big grey cushion and his two dark purple lil' bros. They all sure could use some help!

    I'd have him/her live as a utility full-on-use pillow on my bed, less as a decor item + more as a poignant reminder of what we all must one day "face" -- so that I might be supported to wake each morning with inspiration + retire each night in gratitude. Cha!
