Rainbow Giraffe Pillow

This illuminated pillow, created in 2014, is made with a dense array of RGB LED pixels embedded in the face of the pillow.  The light is softened by the outer faux fur layer with a black and white giraffe pattern, as well as a second layer of diffusing material.

It can be operated in a few different modes, including a smooth moving rainbow, and a few styles of sound-reactive effects that use a seven-channel spectrum analyzer built into the LED driver.

The pillow can be operated by a portable rechargeable battery pack, or plugged into an wall outlet for extended use.
