About Egg Collective
Egg Collective is a New York–based design studio co-founded in 2012 by Stephanie Beamer, Crystal Ellis, and Hillary Petrie.
The company was born from a deep friendship and a shared dream. Shaped by the co-founders’ backgrounds in art, architecture, and woodworking that dream became an ethos that still guides Egg Collective today: Materials are sacred and imbued with infinite potential. The act of creation carries responsibility. Beauty has value and is rooted beneath the surface, in the choices, hands, and histories that shape an object.
Co-Founders Crystal Ellis, Stephanie Beamer & Hillary Petrie

Each piece in Egg Collective’s Design Catalog is crafted in-house and in partnership with local fabricators, using the finest raw materials. Sculptural in spirit, the company’s designs balance elemental forms with the rich textures of natural materials including: wood, leather, metal, glass, cork, stone, wool, silk and cashmere.
Because each piece is made by hand, most designs can be customized — shaped to fit the spaces and lives they enter.

Egg Collective’s origin story is deeply rooted in craft and the artistic process — beginning with a single workbench where co-founders Beamer, Ellis and Petrie hand-built their first collection.
Though the company and its production capabilities have grown vastly since then, many of those original designs are still available and are still lovingly crafted by hand in New York today.
Now spanning two locations—a gallery in Tribeca and a workshop in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard—Egg Collective continues its devotion to timeless design. Each heirloom-quality piece is crafted by skilled artisans and displayed alongside unique and limited-edition works by emerging and established contemporary artists.
