Hatch reinterprets the essence of lightness, transforming the everyday egg holder into a symphony of movement and grace. The delicate art of balancing eggs has fascinated civilizations throughout history; it's said that on the equinox, you can easily balance an egg. Hatch elevates this timeless fascination, transforming the egg and its fragile shell into the heart of a poetic kinetic sculpture. Delicate, ethereal discs of reassembled eggshells with their captivating patterns delicately contrast the immaculate integrity of the egg itself. The eggs hover gently, perched atop slender, curved brass supports that mirror the egg’s natural elegance. The structure gracefully spins and pivots with the slightest current of air or gentle touch, evoking mesmerising movements that breathe life into the sculpture. This dynamic presence not only enhances any dining setting but also elevates breakfast into a ritual, making Hatch not just a functional piece but a captivating narrative of balance and beauty.
