THE EGG A LA TAL R - travelling the world

The 50 spectacular Eggs are now on a world tour. The Eggs started their tour in Milan in connection with the Milan furniture fair and the grand opening of our new showroom on Corso Garibaldi. The 50 design icons were first shown on the exhibition in the Carlo Sozzani Gallery in 10Corso Como.

First stop on the world tour is Korea and despite a major workers strike at South Korea's main port in Pusan, the Eggs arrived safe and sound at Corso Como in Seoul, the first location of their global tour. See the press coverage from the exhbition

Corso Como, Carlo Sozzani's new concept store in Korea which opened in March 2008, includes a book shop, restaurant, café and fashion department as well as an art gallery.

The 50 Eggs stand proudly in the sophisticated setting where they will remain until 27th July before moving on to their next location - Australia.

The Story behind the Tal R Eggs

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Egg, we approached Danish artist Tal R with the ambition to obtain a unique and untradtional tribute to the Arne Jacobsen design.  

"The idea of combining this representative symbol of Danish Design which qualifies as high culture with patchwork which qualifies as popular culture, intrigued me. Patchwork is like a bubble and squeak of blankets. It's the leftovers from the workroom, and traditionally something people have made together. It's associated with collectivity. For example, people used to send patches by chain letters, and then one day you'd have enough to make an entire quilt."
