the pillow ball
The Pillow Ball is a premium spherical cushion collection - a unique furniture accessory that is artistic, functional and stylish. Available in a variety of sizes and luxury textiles, each Pillow Ball brings a sculptural element to a space.
The first collection launched at Barney's New York in 2012 and remains a sought-after interior accent.
More than just a decorative piece, it’s an ergonomic, artisanal home design element.
Whether used as an elbow rest or to strike a pose, the Pillow Ball adds a sophisticated visual accent to any space. Their rounded form introduces a harmonious counterpoint to linear and angular elements, adding depth and balance, enhancing the home with texture, color and style.
Handcrafted in New York by master artisans using high-end textiles, each Pillow Ball is tagged with the Andrew Yes signature circular gold-coin, embossed with the word "yes"—a mark of its positive energy and craftsmanship.
