Egg Holder

We like eggs. Bolied, scrambled, poached, every which way. With this in mind, we set about designing a range of EGGcellant products celebrating the humble egg. First up, a practical, beautifully simple egg holder. We asked Warren in Coolree Design to make it super chunky, so that you can flip it over and use it as a small cutting/serving board. Beautifully tactile, the grain of the hardwood is totally different with each holder. Holds six eggs and measures 11.5cm x 16.5cm. The depth is 4cm. Makes a perfect housewarming gift, as you will wonder how you ever got on without one on your countertop. 

Established in 2017 by Letterfrack graduate Warren Hayes, Coolree Design specialises in manufacturing furniture and homewares from their Kildare studio. Emphasis is placed on design, craftsmanship, and quality of materials to produce items for the home which are practical and beautiful.

To ensure the timber remains in good condition, wipe clean and do not immerse in water.  If the wood starts to look "thirsty" clean and oil with linseed from time to time to refresh and protect the timber.

Coolree Design create with an ethically-minded ethos, rooted in using only sustainably-sourced solid timber. As they are fortunate enough to enjoy an abundance of beautiful greenery around their workshop in Kildare, they value the importance of treating the earth with the utmost respect. 

Remnants and off cuttings from their larger pieces of furniture are used to create their more quaint vessels. They aim to eliminate unnecessary waste in the studio, even down to the wood shavings which are repurposed as horse bedding for their neighbours' stables!
