# Chromatic Coffee Pod Artwork The 'Superegg' Installation by Jaco Roeloffs Uses Nespresso Pods By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2020-05-17 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superegg-installation References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2020/05/15/made-using-3000-nespresso-pods-this-installation-transforms-ocean-waste-into-art/) The 'Superegg' installation by Jaco Roeloffs is a chromatic work of art that, although beautiful, calls to mind an important topic when it comes to the environment. The Fabergé egg-like structure was achieved by the artist using a series of [aluminum sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unavela) that were studded with 3,000 Nespresso and [Keurig](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-pod-maker) [single-use coffee pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-creek-coffee-escape-pods); the important aspect to note is that the pods were pulled out of the ocean. This helps draw more attention to the important topic of oceanic pollution as more and more waste enters our waterways each year. The 'Superegg' installation stands 6'6" in height and is the winner of the 2020 A' Design Award, and is also integrated with lighting on the interior that shines out after dark to act as a reminder beacon of wasteful behaviors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Upcycled Art:** Creating art installations using recycled or upcycled materials, such as coffee pods, presents an opportunity for artists to raise awareness about environmental issues. - **Oceanic Pollution Awareness:** Using art to draw attention to oceanic pollution and the impact of waste entering waterways can inspire individuals and businesses to take action in reducing environmental harm. - **Integration of Lighting in Art:** Integrating lighting features into art installations, as seen in the 'Superegg' installation, creates engaging visual experiences and enables impactful messaging. ### Where This Applies - **Sustainable Art:** The art industry can explore opportunities to create sustainable artworks that repurpose materials and promote environmental consciousness. - **Sustainability Consulting:** Consulting firms specializing in sustainability can work with artists and organizations to develop initiatives that use art as a medium to raise awareness about environmental issues. - **Lighting Design:** Lighting design industry can collaborate with artists to incorporate innovative lighting solutions into art installations, enhancing their visual impact and messaging. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Coffee Pod-Made Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycle.md) - [Waste-Reducing Coffee Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-balls.md) - [At-Home Coffee Pod Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-pod-maker.md) - [Eco Coffee Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eco-coffee-pod-advent-calendar.md) - [Mushroom Coffee Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-cups.md) - [Coffee Pod Recycling Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-pod-recycling-tool.md) - [Coffee Grounds-Made Home Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-grounds-as-material.md) - [Brick Coffee Maker Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-nespresso.md) - [Eco-Conscious Coffee Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruvi.md)
