This linen and cotton pillow from Room & Board is sweet in its detail, though fruit decor is not a typical first choice for living room accessories. We also don't know of any square fruits (shown here, dangling from tree limbs), but that's part of its charm.
Where do you think this pillow best belongs??




For $79 it belongs at the store. It's cute, but a pillow isn't worth that much to me.

it's a bit too cute for me. i much prefer another new one of theirs, the Reverse Mum 18 Square Pillow in Grass, but that's even more at $99.

Guest room, or if you have a McMansion, on a bench in one of those stupidly enormous bathrooms.

I agree with rocketslide, $79 is too much to spend on a pillow. If I could find the fabric, I would make one myself. I would put it on our sofa in the living room. The colors would work with the fabric of our couch & the rest of the living room.

It would look nice on the sun porch. But I agree, it would be more fun to make a pillow for quite a bit less than pay $79 for one.

Its out of my price range but I love the pattern. It would look good in a living room or nursery. Especially if the walls picked up on the color in the pillow.

Assuming that an 80%-off sale is involved, I'm thinking it'd be cute in a little window-seat nook off a kitchen, with lots of white woodwork and the walls painted in the orange or one of the greens.
The square fruit represents fruit bred for more convenient packing and shipping -- very "science working for you" modernist.

That fabric is called Fruit Tree by Alexander Girard. You could probably find the same on on ebay for a lot less, or even get a couple yards of the fabric from Maharam and sew it yourself.
