The d*light Huggable Pillow by Yanko is truly a beauty to behold. Using a few batteries and some LEDs (of which do not produce excessive amounts of heat) we see a design with both purpose and visual asthetics. I particularly enjoyed the design of this pillow for it beautifully conveys metaphor in structure and meaning. The warm, glowing inner lights represent comfort, warmth, safety. Yet a soft pillow in itself should represent quite similar attributes. In putting these two objects together the target audience not only feels the satisfying hug of a soft pillow, but sees and "feels" the reassuring warm glow. Granted warmth produced by inner lights would be warranted, I imagine it was avoided for safety reasons.
