About Mr Eggo Oggetto in vetro da collezione
Mr Eggo è un oggetto in vetro da collezione realizzato a mano in un atelier di Istanbul. Il design unisce un corpo a forma di uovo a una densa spirale che avvolge la forma. Mr Eggo viene modellato con il vetro ancora caldo, a 1200 gradi Celsius, mediante tradizionali tecniche di soffiatura a bocca e strumenti in metallo. La lucidatura in più fasi e il raffreddamento controllato conferiscono alla superficie un'elevata trasparenza ottica. La spirale sembra mutare ritmo quando l'oggetto viene osservato da angolazioni diverse. Ogni colore è prodotto in un'edizione limitata di 20 pezzi. La forma si ispira alla cupola di Santa Sofia e all'uovo come simbolo di potenzialità.

- Production Technology
- Produced at 1200 degrees Celsius in our Istanbul atelier using Kristalika glass, each piece is hand-crafted through traditional mouth-blown techniques with the aid of specialized metal tools. After shaping, it undergoes a multi-stage polishing and controlled cooling process to maximize optical clarity and surface quality
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was preventing cracks caused by the stress between the dense spiral and the slender egg-shaped main body during the hot glass formation process. This required developing a proprietary technique and conducting extensive testing to ensure structural stability while maintaining the intended aesthetics. Additional challenges included achieving compatibility between color codes produced in different chemical compositions, controlling kiln temperatures, and maintaining optimal ambient conditions. Due to the chemical differences between locally produced and imported glass colors, we selected brands with more advanced properties, identifying specific tones that matched the required codes through extensive meetings and consultations, and imported them ensuring that no stage of the production process was left to chance.
- Research
- This project merges traditional glassblowing craftsmanship with contemporary sculptural design, focusing on the dynamic interaction between form and viewer perception. The integration of a dense spiral around a slender main body was achieved through a proprietary hot glass technique developed to control stress during formation. Produced with Kristalika glass at 1200 degrees Celsius in our Istanbul workshop, each piece underwent advanced polishing for a flawless finish. The result emerged from an extensive R&D process, where every detail from color codes to gram specific glass composition was rigorously tested. This method delivers a refined balance between form and tension, enhancing both the tactile engagement and the artistic value of the limited edition collectible.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the dome and intricate motifs of Hagia Sophia one of the finest examples of the ancient architecture hosted by Istanbul’s storied lands Mr. Eggo embodies a contemporary interpretation of traditional mouth-blown glass, giving form a distinct identity. Drawing on the egg as a universal symbol of potential and the spiral as the code of the cosmos, it explores the continuity of rebirth. With its sculptural presence, it awaits to be understood through a tactile and visual dialogue.
- Project Duration
- The project started in July 2023 and was completed in January 2025
- Operation Flow
- The egg shaped main body, encircled by the spiral, changes its rhythm when viewed from different angles, offering a constantly shifting visual experience. With its concept and aesthetics, it adds meaning to the atmosphere.
