"Mrs. Noodle emerged as a conduit for joy and humor," says set designer and artist Molly Findlay. Undeniably silly in their abstraction, yet refined in their construction, the 20 foot-long pillows are made in the U.S. from Belgian cotton velvet and sustainably harvested kapok fiber filling. Findlay first learned of the Kapok tree while traveling in the Amazon rainforest. Regarded as the Spirit Tree of the Amazon, the trees produce giant seed pods filled with silky, anti-microbial, cotton-like fiber that fall gently to the ground for harvesting, while its extensive root system serves as a communication tool for indigenous people; one tap travels for miles. The Kapok tree's gentle, spiritual, and connective qualities are also found in Findlay's Mrs. Noodle pillows: Twist, tangle, tie! Sit, stretch, snake! An invitation to play and relax into Mrs. Noodle's larger-than-life size possibilities.

Her own work, exuberant sculpture and installation pieces which "subvert the everyday experience" by adding humor to the quotidienne in the form of giant soft noodles and telescoping rooms.
Made from Belgian cotton velvet and sustainably-harvested kapok fiber filling.
A note on Kapok: Kapok fiber is very silky—softer than cotton but firmer than down, and completely sustainable. The pods simply fall from the tree to the ground, where they are harvested. The Kapok tree itself is sacred, regarded as the Spirit Tree of the Amazon. Its extensive root system serves as a communication tool for indigenous; one tap travels for miles. Kapok is also naturally antimicrobial and as a bonus—super buoyant.
White Lotus Home is proud to manufacture these lovely pieces of art from purely natural materials like kapok and luxurious cotton velvet fabrics.
