Smartphone-Cradling Cushions

This Patchwork-Style Pillow Features a Pocket for Smartphones

— January 25, 2016 — Art & Design
For those who constantly worry about losing their smartphone between the couch cushions, 'Nendo' has designed a patchwork-style pillow that can be used to hold your mobile device.

The 'mobile-cushion' was designed by Nendo for the 'by | n' collection. The handy smartphone holder consists of a patchwork-style pillow with a pair of slots that can be used to secure a smartphone or a tablet. The slots are obscured by the patchwork arrangement, making the device a subtle storage solution. As a result, the design helps to protect the device while also making it easier to view the screen while relaxing on a couch or sofa.

The smartphone-cradling cushion is the perfect solution for consumers who are looking for a cushy storage storage solution.
