Onley Make Believe
Designer Gerard Onley creates custom-made pillows in cotton and linen for his company, Onley Make Believe. He shared his work with me and I’m sharing with you. His work is made to order.
Newspaper inspired pillows start at $159.
Graphic designs are priced at $169 for the cotton version.
The standard pillow size is 20″ x 20″.¬† For a custom size, you can contact Onley Make Believe from their site here.
Gerard divides his time between San Franscico and Amsterdam. I asked him why and he said, “I still love San Francisco, which (by comparison) is indeed one of the most European-influenced cities in the U.S. Overall both cities are so full of inspiration for design, art, music, that it really is worth living in both places just to experience what both has to offer. I also find that both cities are indeed the eyes and ears of what is happening in the world of design.”

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll check it out. I have a shopping bag made from Japanese newspapers that I use all the time. So green, ain’t I?

Here shopping bags like that are really popular. More so since they’ve banned plastic bags from all the major grocery stores and other stores are being phased out soon.
I like to make mine from canvas and make them the size of a paper shopping bag, but with long handles.

These remind me of the wallpaper in our downstairs bathroom in my childhood home.
Great pillow! Also check out The News LA. She makes pillows from actual newspaper. Not as soft as fabric but really cute.
