Sculptural Egg Casings

The Eggwave Provides Chic Home Decor for Your Refrigerator

— December 16, 2012 — Art & Design
All the new fridges from appliances creator Neff will now come with the Eggwave designed by Jan Wertel of WertelOberfell in collaboration with Tobias Schmidt.

This egg holder is an elegant replacement for the regular carton that eggs come in, giving you a chic element of decor even within the refrigerator. The golf ball texture covers the rippled surface, giving the tray a sculptural effect and creating a natural grip on the eggs. Protecting up to ten eggs at a time depending on how you arrange the container, the tray is comprised of two interlocking trays that can be clipped together in three different ways, giving you options on how you want to store it in your fridge.

Every fridge should come with an egg tray as elegant as the Eggwave.
Trend Themes
1. Elegant Egg Holders - Opportunity for designers to create stylish and functional egg holders for home kitchens and refrigerator spaces.
2. Decorative Kitchen Storage - Potential for innovative storage solutions that combine functionality and aesthetics for various kitchen items, beyond just eggs.
3. Interlocking Tray Design - Opportunity for inventors to explore modular and customizable tray designs for better organization and space optimization in refrigerators.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchen Appliances - Appliance makers can develop stylish and innovative storage solutions for eggs, as well as other perishable items in the kitchen.
2. Home Decor - Furniture and decor companies can expand their product offerings to include design-forward storage solutions, such as the Eggwave, that elevate the overall aesthetic of homes.
3. Food Packaging - Companies in the food packaging industry can explore new materials and designs for egg holders that enhance the visual appeal and convenience for consumers.
