These intriguing [needlepoint pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smock-collection) by Polish designer Kasia Urban Rybska are far from your ordinary cushions. Her inspiration is drawn from [minimalism and pure form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noom-hello-sofa), as she believes that "less is more."

Some of her designs are not made with symmetrical lines, but that's what makes it so appealing. She creates neck-less characters and sews, everyday objects like scissors and screwdrivers on [rectangular cushions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slim-collection). Her work gives you a sense of realism, such as the screen bean that is bent over the water fountain, or the man taking a bubble bath.

These pillows by Kasia Urban Rybska would make for great accents in a child's bedroom, or for the modern homeowner that is looking to add some suspense. These pillows are truly distinctive pieces.
