Biodegradeable pillows

Joanna Notkin, a 32-year-old Montreal-based textile designer, guarantees that her brightly colored knitted pillows and chunky, waffle-weave blankets will biodegrade in one year, should you choose to throw them in your composter once you're done with them. They are sold under the name Looolo (looolotextiles.com) and have been featured in fashion-forward magazines like Lucky, Domino and Elle. Ms. Notkin described her mandate for her four-year-old company (Looolo is a typographical representation of 100 percent), as "biodegradable with an aesthetic."
