# Knightly Egg Holders The Arthur Egg Cup Provides Chivalrous Protection By Meghan Young | Published 2014-06-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arthur-egg-cup References: [bookofjoe](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2014/06/boiled-egg-knight-cup.html) & [peleg-design](http://peleg-design.com/products/arthur) [Breakfast for champions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/incredifulls) takes on a whole new meaning with the Arthur Egg Cup. Since [eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cartons-of-eggs), even the hardboiled type, can be considered as delicate as a damsel, it is only appropriate that they have their own knight in shining armor to protect them from any distress. Of course, not many people would find the Arthur Egg Cup very dangerous since the holder is downright adorable. Designed by [Peleg Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-sea), the Arthur Egg Cup is as functional and fun as the studio's past creations. Complete with a spoon in place of a sword, which would probably come in handy when cracking into the egg, the holder even sports a removable helmet to complete the knight's look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Functional Dining Accessories:** There is an opportunity for innovative dining accessories that combine functionality and aesthetics, like the Arthur Egg Cup. - **Novelty Kitchen Gadgets:** The market for novelty kitchen gadgets that bring joy and humor to mealtime, such as the Arthur Egg Cup, is growing. - **Protective Food Packaging:** Creating packaging solutions that protect delicate food items while adding an element of fun, like the Arthur Egg Cup, can disrupt traditional food packaging. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Kitchenware:** In the kitchenware industry, there is potential to develop and market unique and playful products like the Arthur Egg Cup. - **Food Packaging:** The food packaging industry could benefit from exploring creative and protective packaging options, inspired by the Arthur Egg Cup. - **Gifts and Novelty Items:** The gifts and novelty items industry can tap into the demand for whimsical and entertaining products like the Arthur Egg Cup. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [User-Friendly Egg Cookers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggbath.md) - [Minimalist Experimental Egg Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-egg-racks.md) - [Breakfast-Inspired Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-egg-easter.md) - [Arthurian Luxury Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enchanter-merlin.md) - [Artfully Balanced Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halfway-serious.md) - [Dinosaur-Shaped Kitchenware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kawaii-ceramic-dinosaur-mug.md) - [Gilded Free-Range Egg Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bird-bros-gloriously-golden.md) - [Utensil Holding Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1handmug.md) - [Durable Egg Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-packaging1.md)
