Roberto Hoyos, the creator behind Throwboy, a designer throw pillow brand. He designs, sews, and handcrafts each pillow, drawing inspiration from tech, food, pop culture, and anything that brings people joy. Each piece is thoughtfully made by Hoyos at his workshop in Seattle, blending his background in sewing with his love for nostalgic design. As a first-generation Peruvian American, he is passionate about creating work that reflects his story, supports sustainable practices, and celebrates individuality. He began this journey to bring happiness to others through high-quality designs that spark conversations and create meaningful connections. With the Seattle Restored activation, he aims to share his creative process, connect with the community, and inspire others to celebrate their passions through design.
