Wait, what? Bugatti is making a limited-edition egg

When it comes to luxury and ultra-luxury carmakers, the sky is the limit. Proving that Bugatti – well-known for its luxurious hypercars – in collaboration with Asprey, a luxury jewellery brand, has created a limited-edition bejewelled egg. Yes, you read that right. Both luxury brands are partnering for the first time to create this diamond-encrusted egg which is an exclusive collectable.

This state-of-art artwork is available in physical as well as NFT generative format. This piece also has inscribed digital content on the Bitcoin blockchain which will ensure the artwork lasts indefinitely. The inspiration to make such a piece comes from Ettore Bugatti’s father, Carlo Bugatti who aeons ago had stated, “The purest perfect shape of nature is the egg."

The eggshell of this piece is made from carbon fibre through a complex process. Bugatti claims that the shape of this egg is completely free from disproportion or imperfection. It is encased within a sterling silver diamond weave lattice giving it an ornate look. The surface of the shell contains the ‘Dancing Elephant’ motif which was once put on the bonnet of the Bugatti Type 41 Royale. The latter was claimed as the most luxurious car ever created.

One can open the lattice and carbon fibre shell through a hinged diamond door to see a scene of the Chateau Saint Jean, the home of Bugatti in Molsheim. In front of this scene, there is a sterling silver stylized Bugatti Type 41 Royale Esders which the owner can remove at his or her disposal. Ali Walker, Chief Creative Officer at Asprey Studio said, “We are proud to present the Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection, not only does this push the boundaries on a production level, but the generative art coded by our strategic partner and Bitcoin experts Metagood using the equation of the egg shape of the actual sculpture as an NFT in Bitcoin is a new form of expression and art itself. The NFT and the sculpture are linked by this equation."
