Knot Cushion

The Knot Cushion's prototype stemmed from Icelandic product designer Ragnheiður Ösp Sigurðardóttir's question of how to deal with a teddy bear's long legs in another project. The cushions use different types of knots from the influential 1944 encyclopaedia The Ashley Book of Knots. (Design House Stockholm, designhousestockholm.com)
