urbancase’s Wool Subway Cushion {giveaway}

Written by Urban Sherp on December 9th, 2009

Subway_Pillow Who: urbancase; Seattle, WA

What: The Subway Cushion

Where: urbancase – $120

Why We Love It: Now this is a throw pillow that guys can really appreciate. Inspired by a German military blanket he discovered at a Berlin flea market, metal worker, sculptor and furniture maker Darin Montgomery transformed an item intended for military use into a very cool luxe modern accessory.  Printmaker Rachel Illingworth added the finishing touches with the embroidered yellow and teal train based on a Berlin Subway train.

The pillows are hand sewn in Seattle using salvaged German Army blankets made of 100% wool (you’ll find the letters BUND on the back of the pillow which means ‘federation’ in German – an ode to its origins) and 100% all natural organic wool filling.

And check out our personal favorite from urbancase for a happy happy hour….

    What an interesting history of this
    Subway Cushion. My dad is a WWII Veteran and has most of his gear still. Many thanks, Cindi

    Wow, would love the wil this pillow with the train on it. this would bring back such great memories seeing the maker is from Germany. my hubby was born their an him mom. we would love to go visit Germany but can only dream of it due to funds being short. this would at least be something my husband can remember where his mom that passed away is from. Good Luck every one an remember JESUS loves each of you.
    May The Peace O f GOD Be With All Of You.
