This project focused on the power of form. I chose an egg cup to be my object and redesigned the traditional form of an egg cup after being inspired by three themes: Biomimicry, Baroque Architecture, Playfulness.
Biomimicry:
For my first theme, I was inspired by the nesting shape of a calla lily and incorporated elements from the plant into the form. The form was sculpted from yellow foam.
Baroque Architecture:
For my second theme, I was inspired by the patterns on Baroque columns and decided to make a column-like form to hold the egg. The wooden form was created on a wood lathe with additional carving details.
Playfulness:
For my third theme, I created a form with pointed ends that contrasted with an egg's fragility and its need to be protected. The form was sculpted from yellow foam.
