We’ve always believed that supporting local businesses strengthens the entire community. So when another Columbus favorite shares that same passion for craftsmanship and quality, collaboration feels natural. That’s exactly what happened when we partnered with Piada Italian Street Food to create a set of custom Artisan Keychains that capture the brand’s character and attention to detail.
Piada is a fast-casual concept built on a simple idea: quality and freshness should never be sacrificed for speed. Guests move through an open-kitchen line, choosing from Italian-inspired ingredients to build their own meals—fast, flavorful, and made to order. Founded here in Columbus in 2010 by Chris Doody, co-founder of the Bravo/Brio Restaurant Group, Piada was born from his travels through Italy’s street markets—the sights, sounds, and aromas that inspired the brand’s name and approach to food.
We wanted their keychains to reflect that same sense of artistry. The Artisan Keychain is one of our most versatile 2D designs, known for its ability to showcase fine detail and dimension. For Piada, we created a bold 2-inch diameter piece, cast in premium zinc alloy with CNC-cut molds for crisp definition. A 4 mm thickness and antiqued-nickel plating give it weight and contrast, emphasizing the scooter motif and compass-style layout that tie back to Piada’s Italian street roots.
The result: a finely crafted keychain that mirrors Piada’s own philosophy—fresh, authentic, and proudly made with care here in Columbus.
