# Egg-Inspired Furniture Dinuovo by Uufie and Jeff Goodman Studio Serves Multiple Purposes By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-04-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeff-goodman-studio References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/dinuovo-collection-by-uufie-in-collaboration-with-jeff-goodman-studio/) & [uufie](http://uufie.com/) Dinuovo is a set of modern art pieces by Uufie and Jeff Goldman Studio that can be used as either [vases or light fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/souffl-lamp). The duo take inspiration from the [shape of an egg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humansized-egg-installation), with a glowing central section that serves as the yolk, and a transparent outer layer. The pieces are made through [glass blowing techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-collection), and are moderately large in size when compared to regular vases or lighting fixtures. Looking at the Dinuovo set by Jeff Goldman Studio and Uufie, one would think that the designs would simply roll away when set up, however, "using their center of gravity, the delicate pieces balance like an upside down egg," as states DesignBoom. Use these pieces to add an extra set of intrigue to your home, but just make sure they don't break!
