While technology makes the majority of our day-to-day tasks easier, it can also result in a lack of mindfulness and self-reflection, which is why one design team introduced the Thinking Egg -- a simple yet effective tool that was created to encourage one to be more present.
The design takes this shape as historically, The Egg has symbolized life, wealth and promise. To further this message, the Thinking Egg was made with natural materials, like pine, brass and howlite. Each design intends to help one revitalize and concentrate, while the portable design offers an unobtrusive addition to one's daily routine.
This simple design fuses both form and function to offer consumers an opportunity to reflect.
