The Design

About Mr Eggo Kollektsioneeritav klaasobjekt

Mr Eggo on kollektsioneeritav klaasobjekt, mis on valmistatud käsitööna Istanbuli ateljees. Disain ühendab munakujulise korpuse tiheda spiraaliga, mis mähib vormi ümber. Mr Eggo vormitakse kuuma klaasi, 1200 kraadi Celsiuse juures, kasutades traditsioonilisi suupuhumistehnikaid ja metalltööriistu. Mitmeetapiline poleerimine ja kontrollitud jahutamine annavad pinnale kõrge optilise selguse. Spiraal näib eri nurkade alt vaadates rütmi muutvat. Iga värvitoon valmistatakse piiratud tiraažis, 20 eksemplari. Vorm on inspireeritud Hagia Sophia kuplist ja munast kui potentsiaali sümbolist.

Unique Properties: Crafted in our Istanbul atelier using the traditional precision mouth-blown glass technique, the piece incorporates a spiral outline while hot, requiring exceptional skill due to its denser form. Produced with Kristalika by our dedicated team, it is limited to an edition of 20 per colour, each Mr Eggo bearing the unrepeatable imprint of its creation
Dimensions & Packaging: H 250 mm × W 200 mm × D 190 mm

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.
