In December 2022, Designist published its year-end list, „11 Gifts from Designist: A Year-End Roundup,” a selection of gift ideas combining objects and experiences from everything that had caught the publication’s attention that year. POEMI is among the 11 recommendations, alongside names such as Her Chair, designed by Fabio Novembre, and the SYMFONISK lamp created by IKEA in collaboration with Sonos.
Regarding the choice of a POEMI item as a gift, the article states:
„We found these pieces at POEMI, one of our favorite brands in Romanian ceramic design. Yes, we know, it’s a tough choice when you look at these shelves full of ceramic pieces, but you really can’t go wrong: all POEMI pieces are smooth and serene, round and understated, in calm, subdued shades,” the article states.
Being recommended as a gift in a year-end roundup, on a list where most of the choices are experiences or designer pieces signed by internationally renowned names, confirms one simple thing: handcrafted objects, simple, without pretensions, but made with attention to shape and color, they remain safe choices when you want to give someone something that will last.
We're always happy when a POEMI item arrives, as a gift, in a new home. It is exactly the way we want these pieces to function: not just bought, but carefully chosen for someone specific, just as they are carefully crafted in our workshop in Sibiu.
A year-end roundup, as described by Designist, is more than just a list of products: it’s a selection of the things that stood out during a full year of design content. Finding a POEMI piece in such a retrospective, alongside chairs by internationally renowned designers or hotel architecture projects, confirms that small-scale, handcrafted ceramics can truly stand alongside the major landmarks of the design industry.
