3 surprisingly great mug trends

Pia’s Picks: items that bear my name
7.12.2022
Translation: Veronica Bielawski
In our range, there are about 200 products named like me. And I like a surprisingly large number of them.
Product types
There are some stuffed animals and earrings called Pia. But for the most part it’s furniture and home accessories, including chairs, lamps and pictures, that share my name. Interesting – it’s among these objects that I feel most at home. That’s why I write about interior design, after all, and not sports, fashion, gaming or movies.
The name’s origins
My parents chose the name at the time mainly because of how short it is. If we Pias don’t share the same derivation or origin, perhaps it’s the qualities attributed to our name?
The meaning
Product descriptions
There are indeed some traits here that also describe me.
Here are the products I identify with:
- Plant container – rust-protected: sure, my joints may get stiff, but they don’t get rusty. I make darn sure of that.
- Plant container – suitable for indoor and outdoor use: I, too, enjoy spending time indoors and outdoors.
- Carpet – natural: it’s been ten years since I last dyed my hair.
On the other hand, here are the products I don’t identify with:
- Cake plate – doesn’t absorb water: if I didn’t ingest water, I’d be long gone.
- Cake plate – antibacterial: not applicable, even after two years of continual hand-sanitising. Unfortunately.
- Carpet – a unique piece for nature lovers: unique, yes. But I’m not reserved only for people who love nature.
Other similarities
Most of the objects are rounded, ornate without being over the top, have a simple colour scheme and are exactly to my taste. You could conceivably find any and all of them in my apartment. And I guarantee that no one would get the impression that they’re there by chance alone. Our backgrounds and personalities may not overlap perfectly. But these Pia products and I certainly share a common design language.
In my «Pia’s Picks» series, I share items from my watch list that you might like too.
