Why Egg Cartons?

What inspired our Egg Carton Kitchen Towel?

Kate Kreba once said, “Waste is a design flaw.” The original egg carton—made entirely from paper pulp—is a perfect example of that principle: brilliantly simple, clever, and entirely functional. Easy to transport, protective, and zero waste. What could be better than that? Well… maybe the egg itself. No contest there—eggs are proof of Kreba’s theory in action.

It makes me wonder: does nature hold all the answers, and we just keep missing them? Is simplicity really the key?

Next time you visit our website, www.redbirdshouse.com, take a look at our designs where simplicity truly shines. After years as professional photographers, we know how challenging it can be to create a strong image with just a few elements—but we’ve managed to do exactly that in several of our patterns!

We’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas, so drop us a note. And as always—shop small.
