We’re trading the mainland for island inspiration this week with a special giveaway. While we’re not literally relocating, Honolulu’s So’mace Lifestyle is offering a taste of Hawaii through a small design boutique that celebrates sustainable, thoughtfully made home goods.
So’mace Lifestyle grew out of a design practice founded in 2004 by former New Yorkers Kaypee Soh and Edward Macey. The boutique focuses on eco-conscious materials and processes, offering artwork and products that bring personality to your walls, floors, and bedroom—plus spirited accents for the sofa, like the pillows we’re featuring in this giveaway.
Designer Kaypee Soh’s original pillows mix nature-inspired florals with bold, retro-influenced graphics. Each cover is hand-printed in Washington and hand-sewn in Hawaii. The pillows use 100% linen covers and come with a 20″ x 20″ feather/down and hypoallergenic insert. A thoughtful detail: every pillow features two coordinated designs—one on each side—so you can refresh your living space simply by flipping the cushion.
We’re giving one reader their choice of any one of the six pillow designs pictured below. To enter, leave a comment on this post with the word “ALOHA” by Wednesday, February 18th at 8:00 PM EST. In your comment, we’d also love to hear about your honeymoon plans or memories—have you been to Hawaii, or is there another destination on your list? For our part, we skipped the tropical route and spent our honeymoon in Alaska—chilly, yes, but undeniably romantic.
So’mace Lifestyle will ship the prize internationally, so everyone is welcome to enter. We’ll select one winner at random using random.org and announce the result later in the week. If you’re wondering what word to use for “good luck” in Hawaiian, “Pau” and “Pomaikaʻi” are sometimes used in celebratory contexts, though the warm and simple “ALOHA” captures the spirit perfectly.
