Ittinger Ei

Ittinger Ei is a collective village product developed with team members from the Kartause Ittingen, an old Carthusian monastery, which is now run as a civic foundation. The new product is functionless on purpose and reflects the very tactile but mysterious character of the place. The shape is based on that of a hop fire from the local harvest and carries open kiln-fired clay secrets from 113 members. Commissioned by Kunstmuseum Thurgau, where it is now part of its permanent collection.
