Throwboy's New Pillow Collection Sees Familiar Old Computers

Unveiling the revolution of computers, the different eras that the pillows are dedicated to are the years 1977, 1984, 1998, 2001, and 2007. The cuddly pieces are constructed from soft fabrics and high-quality plush materials, finished with intricate embroidery to highlight the artisan craftsmanship. This intricacy also highlights the smooth contour details that imitate the original technology designs.
