balanced design is a wonderful environmentally-friendly home accessories studio. inspired by a trip to paris, balanced design founder melinda cox started her studio in response to the environmentally aware culture she discovered in france. determinded to provice eco-friendly products that weren’t bland and made of recycled cardboard, she designed a beautiful collection of pillows (i know, my weakness) made of wool felt and organic cotton. each one is more colorful and fun than the next, and with 10 patterns to choose from (most with several color options), the collection is off to a great start. right now balanced design doesn’t offer online shopping, but you can find a list of great retail stores that sell her work online. enjoy!
