"chicken keeping has become hugely popular in the last 18 months, as it makes an ideal pet with benefits
that delivers fresh eggs.
upset by how ugly, poorly constructed and rudimentary chicken coops were, british duo matthew hayward
(furniture designer and engineer) and nadia turan (creative director) have developed nogg, a modern
chicken coop that appropriately takes on the shape of an egg. it has been designed to house between
2 - 4 chickens and is built to encourage domestic farming in any garden, urban or rural environment.
tent london 2010 was the first presentation of the coop to the public.
nogg is engineered and crafted by hand in the UK, constructed from strong cedar wood, which emits
a fresh scent and is naturally antibacterial. stainless steel trimming, locks and fasteners, along with an
elevated glass dome, gives nogg a contemporary feel and also makes it reassuringly safe and durable.
fresh eggs can be accessed through a large, easy to open hatch door, and the unit comes with a hidden
portable wheel system for easy transport.
