Onley Make Believe

“Our designs aren’t for everyone — and luckily for you, they’re not!”

So states the mission statement of San Francisco home furnishing company
Onley Make Believe, whose gorgeous pillows have been making me dreamy-eyed ever since I first browsed their deceivingly simple site. Founded by Gerard Onley, a one-time fashion student, the primarily-pillow company has been churning out “Elegant Pillows Which Look Good Enough to Wear” for over ten years. Finding Onley’s eye for fashion is not too challenging in the extraordinary pillows (a skill which is reflected in the workmanship and beauty of each offering), and each collection is marked by decidedly distinct design sensibilities. Some are modern, some are quirky, and some are abstract- but all of Onley Make Believe’s pillows offer the kind of quality that makes for a lasting favorite.
