Bugatti and luxury goods company Asprey have announced a limited edition collection of metal objet eggs.
Designed by Asprey Studio, the Royale Edition of the new Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection will use a state-of-the-art technique of inscribing digital content on the Bitcoin blockchain, and will be produced as NFT generative artworks, a move which Bugatti states will allow them to last indefinitely.
The carbon fibre eggs feature the 'Dancing Elephant' motif, recreated from one of Rembrandt Bugatti's original sculptures The collection is also said to bring together the timeless creations of the Bugatti family with Asprey's heritage and craftsmanship.
To this end, the Royale Edition of the Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection features the use of Bugatti's distinctive horseshoe grille, which was designed by Ettore in honor of his father's love of flowing curved shapes that included the egg.
Featuring on the surface of the Royal Edition of the collection, meanwhile, is a 'Dancing Elephant' motif, recreated in perfect detail from one of Rembrandt Bugatti's original sculptures, recreated in minute detail by Asprey's expert silversmiths. This motif can also be seen in the gear selector of the Bugatti Mistral that we preview here.
The eggshell of the collection is also made from carbon fibre and intricately crafted into the perfect egg shape during a long and complex process, ensuring that it is completely free from disproportion or imperfection.
These eggs are encased within a sterling silver diamond weave lattice, gently angled downwards to a curved base portraying movement and echoing Asprey's heritage in jewelry as well as the ornate furniture designs of Carlo Bugatti and the Art Nouveau, an era significant to both brands.
The intricate lattice and carbon fibre shell opens with a complex hinged diamond door to reveal a scene of the Chateau Saint Jean - the iconic home of Bugatti in Molsheim - in front of which is a sterling silver stylised Bugatti Type 41 Royale Esders, removable should the owner wish.
