soup ladle by steffen schmelling for ego
it’s funny the kinds of bees that get under designers’ bonnets. take the humble soup ladle. not much that can be done with that, right?

au contraire, said the good folks at ego. their soup spoon is mushroom-shaped, with the inside of the mushroom’s cap as the spoon. you can pour it easier than traditional ladles and from any angle. the high handle also keeps your sleeves out of harm's way, making it a soup ladle that you’ll love and your dry cleaner will hate.

winner of the 2007 red dot design award.

high-polish stainless steel. dimensions: 10.9”h x 4.1”dia.

ego is the collaboration of michael bruun and steffen schmelling. both have known each other for over 15 years, and it shows. their designs are the product of bruun’s business sense and schmelling’s creativity pushing and pulling each other. this tension has already earned ego several red dot design awards and promises more and better from this company.
