Sometimes you just need that overwhelmingly large pillow to hold you and keep you warm in times of loneliness and heartbreak. The Blob Heater is just that device.
Although the sperm-shaped pillow is a little inappropriate looking, it does the trick with its large surface (enough to lay down and then some) and its interior heating system. It comforts in many ways.
Designer Sang-Jang Lee says the Blob Heater is a “hybrid between furniture and electric appliance.” It seems to work quite well.
