Laidback will be showing new designs during the NYIGF at the Gallery On Six Showroom at 7W, SUITE 604

In the Summer of 2006 before Laidback was launched I was inspired to hit the subway with the samples I had and shoot my pillows on the train. I have spent years riding the NY MTA daily and continue to do so reading, watching, and dreaming, so when I wanted an urban backdrop to shoot in, I figured what better place to chill. I am not alone in my thinking that the metro is the ideal place to add comfort and design too, because last Summer Ikea redesigned four train cars in Siberia. Ikea having more resources and I am sure permission, hooked it up with seated cushions and even curtains for the show cars. It looks fab and is will stay in place until June 2009. I am planning a street installation for the summer, you never know where one might be getting laidback, so keep those eyes peeled.

Some of your favorite pillows will be a part of the set of “Real World Brooklyn” and here is your chance to start the New Year getting Laidback. Our first contest of the year will give 5 lucky winners the chance to win one of the 13 styles shown on the set.
Contest Rules:
All you have to do is spot the pillow. Once you see a pillow you recognize, email, twitter, Facebook or myspace the style name, price and color

It’s that easy!! If you are in the Bronx we are watching the show laidback style, with friends, snacks, and pillows at Diamond Cut Barbershop in the Bronx. email tina@laidbackhome.com to rsvp

Today is the laidback kids birthday. Zion, my son and chief of promotions turns 10 today. We spent a wonderful day ice skating. There is no better way to enjoy a crisp beautiful day.

Happy New Year from the Laidback fam. My theme for the year is “Mine in 09″ Live hard, love hard and play hard. Tomorrow is not promised so cease the day and love extra hard, create what puts a smile on your face, and enjoy those laidback moments.
