We heart Areaware, the artist collective based in New York. And on their roster of crazy cool product designers is Ross Menuez, who’s been popping up on our radar time and again. Menuez loves any vehicle that can carry a graphic and he’s decorated clothing, bags, accessories, plush toys and pillows. First we got wrapped up in Salvor, his brand of silkscreened scarves and separates with digital graphics and swirls of bright color. Lately, though, we’ve been doing cartwheels for his line of petite animal playthings. Each “Pico” pillow is shaped and screen printed with an adorable animal that begs to be squeezed. The organic cotton collection includes a zoo of animals — from bunnies, poodles and squirrels to falcons and lynxes — all priced under $30. Purrrfect — or grrrrreat — for home décor.
