Ze + Me
Pillows to Oooooooohhh Over
Lynn Cleare Goldman, the artist behind Ze + Me pillows, sews a small childhood dream and love of horses into each stitch of the western line of her luxurious pillows. Living in the paniolo or cowboy country of Hawaii, the atmosphere has influenced her work, primarily due to the area’s rich culture.
Prospective buyers have been known to swoon over her craftsmanship and sensational designs. The fine quality fabrics accent the design and characterize Ze + Me pillows as fresh and innovative. Lynn’s original design and distinguishing accessories make these 18” pillows the centerpiece of any living area. From beginning to end the entire pillow is handmade.
Lynn hand paints and embroiders details on some of the pillows, changing accessories to create discriminating originals. “I try to find unusual materials to accent my pillows so that each one is unique,” says Lynn. Conchos and buckles used on a number of the pillow designs are top-of-the-line, exquisite, and highly detailed in classic motifs. She remembers her love of horses beginning in childhood. “I always loved horses, yet couldn’t have one until I was grown.” .
As an adult, she became a breeder of rare Argentine Falabella miniature horses and worked with the Falabella family coordinating imports and exports of the exclusive horses. As a breeder and an artist, she says “I have always believed if you are going to do something, you need to do it right.” Whether seeking out the finest of horses or extravagant fabric and embellishments. Her work with Ze + Me pillows builds on skills she honed while designing pillows in New York City over 30 years ago. Ze + Me pillows combines the maturity of her artistic experience with the innocent dreams of a young girl.
