Pia’s Picks: take your kitchen to another sphere
11.7.2025
Translation: Jessica Johnson-Ferguson
There are shapes that fascinate me. Spheres are one of them. They’re round, have no beginning or end and radiate a calmness I find very appealing.
A shiny glass bauble on a tree, the curve of a pearl or a flawlessly shaped apple – there’s something magical about spheres to me. They feel perfect, radiate harmony and make me take a deep breath without even noticing.
Spheres always look harmonious, especially in colour. A coffee maker with a blue ball on its lid? Instantly enhanced charm. A French press stamp with a round, yellow handle? A real statement. Suddenly, breakfast also becomes a feast for the eyes.
Perhaps the magic of spheres lies in that their shape is a natural small wonder. They make everyday life more beautiful without being loud. Round handles, shiny details and smooth curves show that life simply runs more smoothly with curves.
Spherical kitchen gadgets
Here are nine design pieces from Hay, Alessi, Create and Bodum that take the edge off the world a little. From elegant coffee makers to jars and teapots – these little gems prove that perfection really does exist.
