Crack the Future: Egg & Nut Shells Reborn into Eco-Innovations! We Transform Everyday waste into Tomorrow’s Materials! SHELL HOMAGE is a bridge between design, science, innovation, craft, art & sustainability🥚🥜🌰. Discover Shell Homage’s Bio-Material Magic! 1. Discarded 🥚+ 🌰🥜 shells are collected, washed & sterilized. 2.  Drying and heating the shells in special ovens. 3. The shells are grinded into fragments, different particle size & sieved into fine powder. 4.  Mixing the shells with plant based binders that have different properties. 5. The formula is colored using vegan colors extracted from food waste, herbs, plants, crushed minerals & natural stones. 6. Pressed into sheets, creating a unique surface design with various thicknesses. 7. Transforming food waste into luxurious, circular sustainable surfaces that can be shaped, cut, molded, and assembled into final products. In the near future, ‘virgin materials’ will become the rare exception, rather than the rule 🥚🌰🥜! . . #ShellHomage #EcoInnovation #wonder #SustainableMaterials #BioMaterials #CircularEconomy #WasteTransformation #Eggshells #Nutshells #UpcycledMaterials #FutureMaterials #GreenDesign #femaleentrepreneur #awardwinning #biodegradable #SustainableDesign #MaterialInnovation #EcoFriendlyProducts #PlantBasedBinders #VeganColors #FoodWasteArt #explore #DesignScience #SustainableLiving #EcoConscious #InnovationForGood #ReduceReuseRecycle #CraftArtScience #SustainableSolutions #TomorrowMaterials

Far from your usual Murano vase. Our handcrafted Floral Vase explores bold, lightweight, and unpredictable forms that cast vibrant translucent reflections into the home. Made from a plant-based binder infused with eggshell fragments and vegan pigments in varying concentrations, every piece emerges with its own unrepeatable identity. A true pleasure to see our Floral Vase living inside @emmaajames beautifully curated world, featured by @admiddleeast @ad_magazine . . . #sustainableliving #handcrafted #biodegradable #consciousliving #admagazine

This year, Shell Homage lived in two parallel worlds @milan.design.week From Salone del Mobile @isaloniofficial to @fuorisalone — two sides of Milan Design Week that together shape one global creative moment. One rooted in industry, the other unfolding across the city in unexpected spaces, installations, and stories. Shell Homage, in collaboration with @thecollectorsroom2026 at @isola.design district. Exhibiting across two parallel worlds this year was a moment we’re incredibly proud of. #MDW2026 #SaloneDelMobile #Fuorisalone #DesignWeek #sustainabledesign

From the heart of Milan Design Week, the Enlightenment Dress represents a journey of total transformation. In a special collaboration with @shellhomage , we explored the beauty found in the discarded, turning recycled eggshells into a dress of pure intention. This piece is a testament to the fact that high-fashion craftsmanship can be a force for circular change. It isn’t just about a dress; it’s about arriving at a more conscious future. Crafted from substance. Refined by purpose.

We’re thrilled to have been part of @isaloniofficial Salone del Mobile for the 3rd time and to have been part of Fuorisalone as well. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth and shared this journey with us. “From Waste to Wonder” a bold exploration of transformation, where we unveiled materials we’ve never worked with before, pushing the boundaries of waste into new forms of value.
From egg and nut shells to argan waste from Morocco, golden berries leaves, and rose petals 🥚🌰🥜 The designs introduced celebrates the poetic cycle of nature—how waste becomes beauty, how remnants become resources, and how shells can be reimagined. Our mission remains the same: to design responsibly, shape materials with intention, and prove that “food waste never looked this good.” 
Each surface carries the micro-textures of crushed egg & nut shells, preserved rather than hidden—making every piece subtly unique. State of Becoming- artwork by digital artist @louvefa #MilanDesignWeek #MDW2026 #SaloneDelMobile #SaloneDelMobile2026 #Fuorisalone2026

@SceneHome : At Milan Design Week 2026, Egypt’s Shell Homage invites viewers to admire quiet beauty. Under closer inspection, this collection of colourful furniture reveals unexpected nuances hidden in its delicate yet sophisticated forms. Crafted from everyday breakfast waste that’s reimagined as something meaningful, the brand offers a fresh perspective on how we think about discarded materials. Instead of just exhibiting finished pieces, this installation tells a story about materials that have been used and presents pieces of evidence for each step. From fragmented samples to full-sized objects that represent final phases of crafting, the viewer is immersed in the world of making, where there’s an obvious focus on the process and results of it. Founded by Rania Elkalla, who based this idea on the findings she had gained during her studies, the project includes the process of cleaning and preparing shells used as a primary ingredient. Alongside these shells, plant-based binders are used in the process, which creates a biodegradable compound that contains no toxic chemicals whatsoever. “This time we have used completely different types of waste than what we’re used to… we have a table made from argan waste from Morocco,” Elkalla notes. The most interesting thing is that the resulting substance can be used for multiple purposes. As material for lighting fixtures, tables, and other types of furniture and household objects, depending on the way of processing the fragments. Sometimes the material looks so dense that it can be compared to stone, while another form allows some light to peak through. The surfaces are also unique, ranging from matte textures to soft translucency. This way, each object has its own characteristics and special features that cannot be found elsewhere. There’s something quite sincere about this work that makes it outstanding despite the simplicity of the materials used in it. It highlights that good craftsmanship goes beyond appearance; it also shapes the way we think.
