The Egg Chest marks a new direction in Anton’s work, favouring curves and contrasts to achieve a more ornamental outcome. Oval-shaped and seemingly on the verge of toppling, this piece plays with balance and expectation. The drawers are fully functional and seamlessly integrate into the ‘egg’, while the apparent precarity is countered by an aged brass base that acts as a solid anchor.

Historically, Burr Walnut was reserved for classic Victorian chests—elegant, rectangular, and restrained. But, in true Anton style, he wanted to challenge convention and question why a chest of drawers must conform to such a rigid shape. The rich, swirling grain of the Burr Walnut enhances the piece’s organic, fluid nature.

“The eggs aren’t just about storage. They’re about rethinking what furniture can be, pushing beyond the conventional, while still respecting the beauty of craftsmanship and material.”
