One of the loveliest vendors I met during Dwell on Design was Kathleen Roarty, owner and designer of Mint Pillows. Her passion for design and for environmentally sound practices was readily apparent, as was her pride in the photographic skills of her son, who took many of the images found on her pillows!

Made from 100% recycled plastic water bottles, these indoor-outdoor pillows are hand silk-screened, using environmentally friendly dyes, and are designed to last!  Use them by the pool or in your living room, either way they are a bright and cheerful addition.

My personal favorite was this marvelous pillow from the Tokyo series.  I could happily design an entire room around this image (and yes, it’s a real photograph).
