Pias Picks: these objects are all ears
27.9.2021
Translation: Jessica Johnson-Ferguson
I like many things, but my apartment can’t fit them all. So, many products end up in my watch list instead of my shopping cart. This time, I’ve added accessories and furniture that will have you pricking up your ears.
Walls have ears, as the saying goes. But lately, I get the impression that more eavesdroppers have joined them. Take the «Amenna» vase by Kave Home or the «Irie» flower pot by Bloomingville, for example. Their handles resemble ears – «Muses» by Ferm Living even has three of them.
Maybe it's because I’ve been all about pareidolia for some time. However, not only vases have grown ears.
Back to other eavesdropping accessories. It’s hard to say where this trend emerged. After all, ears on vases and other objects don’t serve the same purpose as they do on armchairs. At most, they serve as handles nobody really needs.
That's why ears on design objects do one thing above all: radiate character. Sure, there’s no real need for decoration. But personally, I prefer my life with decoration that makes me smile every time I look at it.
