Packaging Art by Vedovamazzei
The extraordinary jellied eggs, which are found more and more rarely, which, as a cap, have a table egg cup. We started from the "hole": holes in the water, black holes, you made a hole... Why does the hole always have a negative meaning? It doesn't suit us. Do you remember the story of Sisyphus? The Greek myth tells us that he was condemned to push a boulder up a mountain for eternity, because once it reached the top it rolled downhill. If he had made a hole, he would have stopped! And then our cap is that mountain and the egg and our stone. A monument to the hole, to the void, to the lack, to the less which is often more. And to think that this is just the cap! In the jar you will find Paolo Parisi's eggs cooked and left to marinate in the brine made up of ingredients such as sake, Kombu seaweed and star anise.
Eggs by Paolo Parisi
The ingredients of the egg recipe are: sacrifice, objectivity, creativity, good taste, will and a pinch of madness. White Livornese hens, less yield, more difficult to raise, natural diet, life of the laying hens outdoors as for those of the farmer: space, light, sun, wind, rain, heat, cold.
And then the thing that makes this egg truly unique: a large dose of freshly milked goat's milk in the diet.

Mayonnaise
- Caratteristiche uovo: più saporito, gusto pulito ed intenso. È più leggero, contiene più grassi insaturi e meno acqua;
- Ricetta che prevede l’uso di uova intere (quindi nella proporzione naturale tra tuorlo e albume). Date le caratteristiche dell’uovo di Paolo Parisi, la maionese risulta molto leggera, quasi impalpabile.

In the occasion of Artissima, the most international Italian art fair, OFF Giannoni & Santoni presents the most domestic project possible: a series of dazzling and quirky hen coops envisioned by Vedovamazzei and developed in collaboration with the world’s most “philosophical” egg producer, Paolo Parisi. There are twenty of them, and each one is a unique, handmade and unrepeatable piece of art. The hallmark of our chicken coops is the same as Vedovamazzei’s: irony. But it's a cultured, sophisticated irony, not just for the sake of it (sometimes, even melancholic). Each work sends significant messages from its very form, designed by Vedovamazzei to resemble a modern appliance, suggesting that, just like a fridge or a dishwasher, each of us should have a hen coop at home, whether on the terrace or in the backyard, in order to have fresh eggs every morning. In a world where intensive farming is rampant, we wanted to create the ideal living environment for hens, a sort of luxury villa. The key feature of a good hen coop is to let the hens feel secure, which is why they are all closable: this extraordinary and complex animal needs to be indoors at night to feel protected, just like us. So, enjoy yourself; you can decide whether to walk among the hens or choose to observe them from the outside, but is important to do it with respect and without disturbing them. And don’t ask yourself what they are because it can’t be said whether they are hen coops becoming pieces of art or pieces of art becoming hen coops. It’s like asking: which came first, the chicken or the egg?
