Cabinet Eggs Collection

What is the primary — material or shape? The question is timeless, like the chicken and egg problem. In this case, the designer’s primary choice was the material, which transformed into the Eggs collection’s perfect egg shape. The entire collection is made of MDF, which inspired Andriy Rudenko with its contrasting color juxtaposition. The designer revealed new artistic qualities of the material, showing the layers of MDF «cross-section» arranged vertically, horizontally, and even diagonally. Sanded and varnished, in such a rounded shape, the layers of material look unexpectedly bright. They also provide an endless potential to create forms and combine eight basic colors of this material.
It is an extraordinary spherical cabinet that resembles an alien egg and a space object from a sci-fi movie of the early space exploration era. The futuristic nature of the item is emphasized by color juxtaposition and an interplay of the surface shapes. The perfect structure is firmly held on a metal leg. However, the artistic appearance of the object does not exclude its function as furniture. Nevertheless, this cabinet far exceeds its purpose since it also boasts a built-in audio speaker at the customer’s request.
