Introducing GBÊHANZIN: The Eggs Holder by Larry Tchogninou.
“I often start my days with an omelet and a mango as breakfast. A morning habit that kicked off this reflection! Getting tired of the egg carton packaging that gets wet in the fridge overtime, the idea here was to design a permanent egg holder. A sculptural and functional piece that will last forever inside and outside the fridge.
The inspiration for the design comes from the iconic emblem of the hand holding an egg of the King BÉHANZIN of Benin. An image that literally rocked my childhood. As a result, the final product becomes an abstract representation of that emblem. Where form, function, poetry and deep story meet.”
