A place for an Egg


This was my very first iteration for the egg project. The egg was meant to sit on the top
in the smaller pyramid.


This was one of the later iterations where I was trying a new idea and material.

This was one of the last few iterations that I had. The egg was meant to have the stick straight through the egg and sitting right in the middle of the circle.

Once agian this was one of the last few iterations where the egg is supposed to sit in the middle of the circle with the stick piercing the egg. The stick is there to help show the symmetry of the egg in one direction and not in the other.






The description for this specific assignment was to design a place for an egg, that celebrates a quality of the egg, using only paper. The paper aspect created quite a challenge. We were not allowed to use any adhesives. The quality that I chose to celebrate was that geometry of the egg, showing off the symmetry.

I really liked your egg project I liked how u had the concept of symmetry and shape of the egg, i thought that was one of the most important aspects as well. I also like the way you put the two geometric shapes together this was very appealing to the eye

How did you get it to hold it all together with out adhesives, I'm looking at them now and I still cannot figure out how you did it. You should take some photos of how its held together if thats possible

An entertaining structure, that clearly shows the quality of symmetry but in a very clever way. How IS it held together?!
