EGGS

EGGS are multifunctional chairs designed to inspire creative associations and playful combinations. Children, like little chicks, play with eggs, a primordial form, a symbol of life. From the opening of the eggs comes the surprise, with many ways of use, a lot of imagination to invent and create new environments to play. The egg as a symbol of perfect shape, perceptible to all, easy to communicate and mean. In the egg there is expectation, development, birth and transformation. The colors of nature include a range of yellows for the yolk, ranging from light yellow to dark orange, almost red, while white is provided for the albumen. Obviously, with a fantastic interpretation, we can attribute to the albumen and yolk colors different from those recognizable in nature, contrasting with each other, with a beautiful impact and very bright tones. So I thought of two series: 4 or 6 eggs, coordinated and well matched in their colors. By considering the interchangeability of the yolks or their halves, you can always get new combinations. EGGS are therefore nice furnishings, which if necessary can perform the function of seating, foot rests, fun objects to play with your body, build and create attractive, original and colorful environments, .... all child-sized.

Born in Rome in 1968, she lives and works in Sarnico (BG), in Northern Italy. She got a degree in architecture with a dissertation in industrial design focused on a children’s park project inspired by Pinocchio’s fairy tale. From that moment onward her interest for design and, more specifically, for children has been developing in increasingly practical terms through important collaborations with several well-known firms working in the same field, while teaching this topic at university and design schools in Italy and abroad. A large production of house furnishings, interior design accessories, illustrated books, and toy-books contribute to her professional profile. She has won numerous prizes in the fields of design and illustration and has created many educational toys and children books; manifold contributions also to important magazines in the sector. In May 2021, her book about toy design, The Toy and Its Design - From Concept to Realization. A Guide for the Designer, was published by FrancoAngeli, and in June 2022 Shapes and Colours in Fair y Tales. How a Toy Can Be Born from a Story was published by Erickson
