We found that many people -including ourselves- wear our overstimulation as a badge of honour: The more we do, the “better”.  We want to steer away from that socially constructed mindset and wanted to create a tool to help remind us to slow things down, be more mindful, present, and overall more aware in our day-to-day.

This will be our third collection release for the Thinking Egg. Each collection is unique in both aesthetic and feel. For this collection, we asked our community, “What is it that you’d like to hold in your hands?” This influenced our material choices as well as our choice of collaborating manufacturers  – allowing us to create a collection we think our community is going to love ❤️. 

Historically, for different cultures around the globe, the egg has symbolized life, wealth, promise and regeneration. We strive to create an aesthetic, tactile experience with the intention of aligning with this powerful archetypal symbol.  

Balancing at 17mm wide and 23.36mm tall, the Thinking Egg is ergonomically designed to feel great in your hands while being extremely portable and discreet.

Thinking Egg III is available in five new elements, each with unique properties. Choose the Thinking Egg(s) that you feel an affinity for based on the various characteristics of each material.

Each and every Thinking Egg has a unique appearance and texture making each one truly one of a kind. With each collection release, we focus on both textural, aesthetic and symbolic characteristics that can lend to the entire collection as a whole.  

Last year, via our backer survey, we introduced the Damascus Steel Thinking Egg Plus. At 3.5 x larger and weighing 1000g heavier in weight (by comparison with certain elements)- we wanted to create a staple piece to live in our homes: a sophisticated and well-designed visual reminder to help us to slow down.

The response was fantastic and we’re incredibly excited, for the first time, to introduce the Sand Blasted Iridescent Thinking Egg Plus edition✨ We believe many of our supporters will love the weight and feel of the Plus editions and are also incredibly excited to re-introduce the hand-forged Damascus Steel Thinking Egg Plus. (limited quantity) 

Whichever reward you select, we’re providing all our early adopters with a discounted rate, only available here on Kickstarter.  You’ll be able to select which Thinking Egg(s) you’d like to receive in our post-campaign backer survey. 

We’re also very excited to introduce our new and updated base stand made from sustainable Paulownia wood. We took into account the feedback from our backers after the first base stand release and made significant improvements to the design. Now, the base stand ships and arrives in one piece, ensuring a hassle-free experience for our customers. It’s a simple, sleek and attractive addition to displaying your entire collection.

If you want to add any additional Thinking Eggs to your order, you’ll be able to do so via our post-campaign survey. 

This isn’t our first rodeo. We’ve been fortunate enough to receive funding and deliver ahead of schedule on our past two campaigns. We’ll aim to continue that very same tradition come fulfillment time for your Thinking Egg/s.

We are delighted to offer worldwide shipping. The shipping rate to your country is displayed in the above table. You’ll be charged for shipping in our post-campaign survey.  Please note that the item’s price does not include additional duties and taxes that may be applicable based on your local importation laws.

At ORIJIN we strive to slow things down and intentionally think about designs and systems that can be made better. In a world inundated with information and stimuli, we aim to harmoniously intertwine form and function, making designs and systems that provide for the space to be present and aware in our daily lives.

We’re very excited to share The Thinking Egg III with the Kickstarter community and to harness a community of our own composed of individuals that desire to slow things down, be a little more mindful, present, and overall – more aware in our day-to-day.
