If you’re starved for human contact perhaps what you really need is a light, a huggable light. Diana Linn Design has recently started marketing this fascinating take on living space lighting. The REi Huggable creates a glowing, faux source of sunshine in dark, urban spaces. The light is constructed of a furry pillow cover, wrapped around a 
series of LED lights embedded within silicone bubbles. The concept utilizes the properties of the silicone material to act as a diffuser for the LED lights. The silicone’s natural material color is translucent white, and when lit with warm white LED lights, it creates a very warm and comforting glow that represents the sunlight. The silicone material is said to have the tactile feel of a living creature, increasing the pillow’s huggability quotient, as well as enhancing its ability to absorb body heat, allowing it to be warm to the touch. The shape and material for the pillow cover encourages people to touch, hold and bond with REi Huggable™.
The Pillow runs on 4 AA batteries or plug it into a wall socket with the supplied AC/DC adaptor – for extended sunshine in your arms. Make it a little greener by using rechargeable batteries.
Turn on the light and let’s hug-it out.
