eggi:
\ ‘egg-ē \
derived from a warm Korean term of endearment for a beloved little one. We adopt this title to cheer on the next generation of girls as they shape the world through design.
Issue No.1 Bodies ships October, 2026
Dear Reader,
Welcome to Eggi magazine, the “Bodies” issue. Every issue of Eggi is about the design of girlhood–the objects, spaces, and systems that shape your everyday life. Our first issue starts with a simple question: Does the world feel like it was designed with your body in mind?
Before a designer creates almost anything–a chair, a pocket, a bra–they start with a picture of a person using that object, and build it around them. Sometimes that imagined person is a girl. This issue is about noticing when it was, and when it wasn’t, and how everything changes once you start noticing.
The first person you’ll meet is Michelle Millar Fisher, the Chief Curator of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, in New York. Michelle answers Eggi’s Six Questions for Seeing Design, questions you can always return to when navigating the designed world.
Then you’ll meet artists and designers who ask that same question in their own unique ways: through adorning the body, critiquing museums, reimagining who gets to be seen, building surfboards for bodies the sport once ignored, or putting a nation’s history on a fashion runway for the first time.
Along the way, you’ll find Eggi’s Design Studios–real design projects that let you step into the role of designer.
Most importantly, know that Eggi is made just for you. I hope you see your own experiences reflected in these stories, and remember that there are many ways you can appear in these pages. Try the studio projects and send us what you create; we feature reader work in every issue. Or, write us a note. You can draw us a cover for Issue No.2, or apply to join our Editorial Board to help shape what comes next.
Eggi is as much yours as it is ours.
With love,
Elisa
