'Hatch' is a furniture & lighting collection created from eggshells collected from everyday food waste. During the stay at home during the pandemic, Yellowdot was inspired to create from the materials readily available from home - one of which was eggshells that were collected daily.

Eggs are one of the most versatile and universal kitchen ingredients providing vital nutrition to us, but their protective shell is merely discarded, contributing to landfills. Known as 'nature's ceramic,' throughout art history, many different cultures & traditions have used eggshells as a medium for decorations from painting, carving & lacquer. A symbol of life & hope in many cultures, in this time of rebirth, we wanted to inspire people through contemporary design and, provide new perspectives on food waste and give new meanings to this material.
