Bordfolk A–Z Letter Egg Cup, Girl, by Lucie Kaas

A personal egg cup with an initial on the front. Bordfolk A–Z gives every letter its own little figure, in a boy and a girl version. These are the girls: painted beech, 7 cm tall, each wearing a pattern and a big letter.

The Design Story

Bordfolk (Danish for “table people”) is Lucie Kaas’s revival of the painted wooden egg holders that stood on Danish breakfast tables in the 1960s and 1970s. Designers Marie Willumsen and Esben Gravlev kept the classic shape, a little figure with a cup for a head, and dressed each one in a new outfit.

About the Designers

Marie Willumsen and Esben Gravlev designed the Bordfolk collection for Lucie Kaas. Esben Gravlev Rasmussen co-founded Lucie Kaas in 2010 and is its creative director; his eye for graphic color runs through the whole range.

Why You'll Love It

Personal without engraving: give a child, a godchild or a friend their own initial.

Four patterns, triangles, stripes, dots and sprinkles, repeat through the collection in aqua, grey, rose, brown and royal blue.

Spell out a name or a word across the breakfast table.

Where It's Best Placed

At each place setting so everyone knows whose egg is whose, or on a child’s shelf (out of reach of little ones) as a name keepsake.

Product Details

Living With It

Beech is a natural material, so color and grain vary a little from piece to piece. Wipe each egg holder with a soft, damp cloth and dry it straight away; we recommend keeping painted wood out of the dishwasher and away from long soaks.

Who It's Not For

• Anyone wanting a dishwasher egg cup: these are painted wood, best wiped clean by hand.
• Toddlers’ play: they are tableware and decoration, not toys.

Yes. Bordfolk A–Z was designed in a boy and a girl version for every letter; see our A–Z boy egg cups.
