Our origin story is deeply rooted in craft. Prior to launching Egg Collective in 2012, the company’s three co-founders rented a single workbench in a shared woodshop and began building their designs. Though the company and its production capabilities have grown vastly since then, many of those original designs are still available and are still made by hand in New York City.
