James Bond and Fabergé, two of the most revered cultural figures in the world, collaborate in a year when they both mark significant anniversaries.
The most famous artist jeweler in the world, Fabergé, is proud to reveal that it will create a stunning Fabergé x 007 Egg Objet to celebrate both the 180th anniversary of the company and the 60th anniversary of the release of Dr. No, the first James Bond movie, on October 5, 1962.
The classic tales woven within the history of both Fabergé and James Bond will be captured in the Fabergé x 007 Egg Objet. Liisa Tallgren, the head of design at Fabergé, and Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell, creative director, will collaborate on the design of the egg, which will be a symphony of the past, present, and future with subtle nods to Bond’s renowned gadgets.
The Fabergé x 007 Egg Objet is now being created, with the help of a devoted Workmaster stationed in England who will be supervising the development of this masterpiece. The egg object will require many months of development and craftsmanship because it is planned to have the most technologically advanced opening mechanism Fabergé has ever produced, pushing the boundaries of innovation and craftsmanship to new realms. It will also include the rarest of gemstones, evoking the artistic flair for which Fabergé is known. This one-of-a-kind piece of artwork will appeal to collectors and enthusiasts everywhere and offers an extremely uncommon investment opportunity to purchase a piece that was motivated by cinematic history.
Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell, the newly appointed creative director for Fabergé, states: “The partnership with EON Productions and the James Bond film franchise represents our latest creative endeavor through which we are looking to set a new standard in contemporary objet d’arts, in a way that only Fabergé can. This is an exciting chance for us to combine the internationally renowned creativity of Fabergé with the classic on-screen storytelling of the world’s most famous secret spy. These two icons will come together in this one-of-a-kind and revolutionary production where thrilling entertainment meets expert engineering in priceless materials. At Fabergé, we are free to artistically push boundaries, and we plan to use this privilege more than ever.
