The Egg bowl and Egg glass are friendly dishes. It is an organic and ergonomic set that will make you smile and surprise guests. The idea of creating "unusual skin" is what motivated their creation. I am interested in playing with the illusion a material can generate: blown glass has organic and fluid shapes, which gives the illusion that the object is in movement or in a liquid state when in reality it is hard and stiff. The egg bowl and egg glass look as if they are carrying a raw egg on their skin.
