Mr Eggo

Mr Eggo is a collectible glass object made by hand in an Istanbul atelier. The design combines an egg-shaped body with a dense spiral that wraps around the form.

Multi-stage polishing and controlled cooling give the surface high optical clarity. The spiral appears to change rhythm when the object is viewed from different angles. Each colour is produced in a limited edition of 20 pieces. The form draws on the dome of Hagia Sophia and on the egg as a symbol of potential.
