# Cushion Rings Pilo Pilo By Pearl | Published 2008-06-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushion-ring-pilo-pilo References: [designspotter](http://www.designspotter.com/product/2008/05/Pilo-Pilo.html) & [downstairs-studio](http://www.downstairs-studio.com/) Canadian designers, Sae Shigeto & Ming Lo have come up with the perfect solution for boring days at work and at school. Their [mini pillow ring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comforting-pillow) has a small cushion made with stylish fabric. So when you rest your cheek against your fist, the cushion will be much more comfortable than your bony knuckles. A great daydreaming aid but make sure you don't nod off! Or if you are doing some [discrete nodding off](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zzzn-sleep-apparel-system), the [cushion ring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazy-concept) will at least keep you vaguely upright. It can't do a thing about your eyelids though. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Comfort Accessories:** The trend of small but effective comfort accessories like cushion rings has potential for growth in the personal and work space. - **Fashionable Functionality:** The trend of creating functional items that are also aesthetically pleasing, like the stylish cushion fabric of cushion rings, has potential for innovation in the fashion industry. - **Discreet Wearables:** The trend of wearable items that can be used subtly or discreetly, like cushion rings, has potential for growth in the wearable technology industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Office Supplies:** Cushion rings can disrupt the office supplies industry by offering a new take on comfort items for employees. - **Fashion:** The innovative combination of style and functionality in cushion rings has potential to disrupt the fashion industry with more fashion-forward and multipurpose accessories. - **Wearable Technology:** Cushion rings can disrupt the wearable technology industry by introducing a discreet but practical wearable item for everyday use. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Uncomfortable Anti-Tech Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uscellular.md) - [Anxiety-Reducing Pulsating Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fufuly.md) - [Redesigning Restful Moments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anew-project.md) - [Cozy Wearable Bean Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-bean-bag.md) - [Noodle-Shaped Foam Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adjustable-memory-foam-pillow.md) - [Wearable Input Device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picoring.md) - [Customizable Pocket Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sururu-pillow-p17.md) - [Wearable WFH Cushion Jumpsuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-workforce.md) - [Oversized Hollow Pillow Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floof-snuggle-sack-and-floor-pillow.md)
