The Design

About Whale 0 Coixí

Whale 0 és un coixí amb la forma inspirada en el cos aerodinàmic d'una balena. La forma corbada dóna suport al cap, la cara i el coll, i s'adapta a les posicions de dormir d'esquena, de costat i de panxa. El coixí està fet de poliol de diòxid de carboni i poliols d'oli vegetal biològic, que redueixen l'ús de combustibles fòssils i milloren la biodegradabilitat. S'utilitza un procés d'escumat totalment expandit amb aigua per produir l'escuma. El material és hidròfil, de manera que la superfície es manté seca i transpirable. La forma de balena té la intenció d'aportar una sensació serena de pau i seguretat al dormitori.
