  SALTY EGG - Re-Shaped Tradition
> 2006

An old Portuguese tradition sells boiled eggs out of a plate which is filled with salt. The salt conserves the egg for a longer period and avoids strong smell.
This "egg holder" interprets tradition by bringing together past knowledge and contemporary aesthetics.
The crochet technique builds a structure for salt to crystallize. The outcome is a standard egg holder made of pure white salt crystals. A natural useful object to expose, serve and eat boiled eggs.
