Item Insights: what’s a bliss modern table lamp?

by ericl on June 2, 2009

I’ve heard the saying that “ignorance is bliss.”  But what would make a table lamp that is modern style be labeled as “bliss”? (Ok, be forewarned that this post is just my random thinking on a random topic of why this item is called the way it is.  Just don’t want you to waste time on useless trivia, but if that is what you like, read on…)

Customers look for this
It’s not just only my supplier that calls this lamp the bliss modern table lamp, but the fact that my customers call it that too!  Take a look, what is so bliss about this lamp?

Bliss defined
As defined by wikipedia, bliss can be a state of profound spiritual satisfaction, happiness or joy, often associated with religious ideas of the afterlife.  Not the definition where I can remotely link any concept to why this lamp is called bliss.  So I kept on reading the wiki article to possibly find some linkage.  (Well, at this point you shouldn’t keep on reading if you don’t want to waste time.  But keep reading if you don’t mind spending another minute to find out some useless trivia :-) ) Could it be one of the people on this list with the last name bliss?  Nope.

It’s a place.
Ok, after reading on toward the geography section, I made the connection.  Bliss is ghost town at the heart of northern California in Yuba Country.  But you may ask what this has anything to do with the lamp?

Just a guess
Well, let me take a stab at it.  I know for a fact that some of my vendors don’t have much creativity when naming products.  And after seeing where the word Bliss came from I started picking up on the fact that other vendors also name their products after city names and places.  Like Manhattan sofa or Hermosa Chair, haha.  So I figured it was just named after the place and that customer’s saw this product elsewhere and used the same name to ask about it.

Useless trivia
Anyways, I wrote this post just to question why certain products are named the way they are and a bliss modern table lamp is up there on my list of confusing product names.  Thanks for reading my ramblings and I apologize if I’ve wasted your time on this useless trivia.  But I know some of you like some random trivia but I hope to learn from this and possibly come up with better product names and be original about it.  Thanks for reading!
