Pia’s Picks: these stains don’t need removing

Translation: Jessica Johnson-Ferguson
Red wine on a carpet or lipstick on a blouse – those are the kinds of stains no one wants to see. But there are exceptions. Sometimes, small blemishes are beautiful.
As an aesthetics lover, I generally can’t live with stains. However, I recently came across a type I’m willing to embrace: stained glass. It reminds me that a blemish has two meanings: it can be a spot that’s unintentionally dirty, or an area that’s intentionally different in colour.
Splotches of paint aren’t always unsightly, but can also transform or upgrade an object. This is demonstrated by the Jali range by the Nordic brand Oyoy. It consists of transparent drinking glasses, plates, carafes and vases with colourful splashes that are reminiscent of Jackson Pollock’s work.
Without its irregular pattern, I think the series would be fit to join the monotonous stuff you can find in our shop. After all, the shapes are too simple to stand out. But thanks to the colourful spots, details such as the rounded edges of the glass series are flattered and highlighted.
