Shameless self-promotion: Worked on some materials investigations for my thesis over the weekend—check out my blog for process & prototype photos!

Fabergé Eggs Get A Modern Makeover For The Craziest Easter Egg Hunt Ever

Fabergé has teamed up with the charities Elephant Family and Action for Children to develop The Big Egg Hunt. It’s a sprawling Easter egg hunt, featuring over 200 uniquely crafted eggs that are displayed in hiding spots throughout London. Each egg was created by contemporary artists, designers, and jewelers, including Diane Von Furstenberg, L.A.-based street artist Mr. Brainwash, and Ridley Scott, who directed Alien, and whose egg looks like a brain. Because of the pedigree of each egg, and because the eggs are objectively, uniformly awesome, they’ll be auctioned off after the contest, at the end of Lent (the week of April 9th).

Click through the auctions of all the eggs—some of these are unbelievable.

Bottle Humidifier by cloudandco for elevenplus.

I really like this one—described, quite accurately as a “functional art object”.

Can we just use these for the cafeteria for GFRY studio this year? I would always have eaten all of my vegetables if they were displayed like this.
