The Lomme Bed


I've seen egg shapes in home decor before, first as a game player's paradise and later as a massage oasis, now the egg reappears as the inspiration for a sleek new bed. The Lomme includes light and sound therapy to remove outside disturbances and give you a protected feeling.

Belle/Bon Egg Cup & Spoon

Soft boiled eggs are not at the height of breakfast food fashion at the moment, but anyone who enjoys toast and eggs in the morning will tell you that it is hard to beat the runny yolk of a soft boiled egg. To properly dip the toast, the egg must be held upright in a little cup and this Belle/Bon Egg Cup even comes with a small spoon for scooping out the egg. The set, which includes the cup and spoon together, was designed by Konstantin Grcic and is made of hand-painted porcelain in blue, yellow, green, grey, pink or black. Price: $400.

Ostrich Egg Jug

The Ostrich Egg Jug is for the hostess who has it all. It is made from a real ostrich egg, with sterling silver spout, handle and base. The concept came from the fact that some tribes in South Africa used the giant birds' shells to carry water for thousands of years, taking advantage of their impressively sturdy build. The jug measures 7.75" x 4.75" and can one egg's worth of water or other liquid, or about 60-ounces. Price: $385.

Ova Luminaire

The Ova Luminaire is comprised of twenty one bone china eggs that are internally lit with LED lights, making a cascade of light and design that looks not entirely unlike a flower of some kind, or perhaps a bunch of berries. The typical size is about 1 meter high, hung from the ceiling with a discrete white mounting, but the fixture can be custom made to almost any size. You can also choose to have lights in either white, blue or a combination of the two inside the eggs, dictating the mood you want to cast into the room. Prices start at £695.

Pink Faberge-Inspired Dog Bed

If you are a pet lover and Faberge-junkie, the Faberge-inspired Fab Imperial Bed from Pawsitively Posh is probably the ultimate in luxury for your dog. Limited to only 350 units worldwide, the bed is covered in a pink velvet and has a silver velour lining, as well as gorgeous silver accents. The bed is recommended for pets under 15 pounds and, because it also has faux-jeweled accents on the outside, is not recommended for pets who chew their beds. It also includes a little silver tiara toy, just in case you didn't realize that the bed is meant for spoiling a little princess. Price: $275.

Don't forget about the royal blue version($350) with a Crown toy for the most princely pet, too.

Temple St. Clair Crystal Egg Pendant

Temple St. Clair's stunning craftsmanship is shown off in this elegant and simple pendant necklace. The Crystal Egg Pendant features a translucent, polished crystal egg that is suspended in a cage of four, 18-karat gold bands. Each of the bands is further embellished with .22-karat brilliant-cut diamonds, centered on each of the bands, which set off the sparkling crystal egg. The not-too-large 1.8-cm length allows the pendant to fit both long and short chains equally well. Price: $2,300.

Horchow Swing with Stand

It will not arrive in time for Easter, but Horchow's egg-shaped Swing on a Stand is a very comfortable piece to add to your yard this summer if you like spending time outdoors, enjoying the weather and relaxing. The chair is made of elegant, scrolling wrought iron and heavily cushioned with red, weather-resistant cushions from Sunbrella. It is perfect for curling up in with a good book, but a coordinating ottoman ($330) is available if you would rather stretch out. The fact that it's suspended means that you will be able to drift slightly in the breeze - without the risk of getting tangled in strings as you might in a hammock. Of course, also unlike a hammock, with the heavy-duty stand supporting the chair, you don't need a pair of trees the appropriate distance apart to enjoy it. Chair with cushions: $824.

Lux List: Favorite Egg-cellent Items

Designers love eggs. Eggs have beautiful, clean lines and a great shape. The egg shape is perfectly symmetrical when cut vertically, but has a soft slope that draws the eye along its curves when viewed as a whole. Egg shapes can and do appear just about anywhere anwhere, in both small and large sizes. We've noticed this, as egg-shapes have come up repeatedly on Luxist, but we still have our favorites. Let's face it: some egg designs work better than others.  These are some of the good ones:

Vivian Alexander Egg Purses - These novel purses are made out of real Rhea egg shells. They are enameled and decorated to perfection by hand with a variety of precious and semi-precious stones. The interior of the purses are lined with silk and they retail from $1000-7000. The Chanticleer Purse, pictured, costs $2,875.
