Chronic Companion “Calypso” Plush
Why Support?
By supporting this pledge, you’d help bring to life a design that is both adorable and functional!
I wanted to create a plush that could provide comfort, and be helpful while resting, traveling, or during times of stress and illness, while still being useful in everyday life!
This is more than just a design I want to make. It’s a design I genuinely believe serves a purpose, and should exist in the world!
Background
I wanted to design an original plush you can cuddle in bed or travel with, all while keeping your essential items close. Which is why mine has a zippered pocket! No need to fill your pockets or have your things scattered around!
This idea was inspired by my hospital stays. When you’re admitted, the small items that make you feel comfortable suddenly become incredibly important. A charger, headphones, fidgets, keepsakes… all of these things usually end up stuffed in a bag across the room or lost in your bedsheets.
I wanted to create a plush that could keep these important objects close, while giving you something comforting to hold onto.
But this plush isn’t just for hospital stays! At home, it can hold your remote, medication, earplugs, headphones, or any other little essentials! A useful companion for your bed, or road trips, whether you’re an adult or child!
My design is made specifically to be both adorable & functional. With a multi-inch zippered storage pocket to hold your most important items close to you.
Your companion Calypso wants to help carry your stuff!
