For years, the cardboard egg carton has remained the same. It has stood as an example of one of the most <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/simple-design/">successful and simple designs</a> ever and has served to keep our eggs (relatively) unbroken. The thought of changing it would seem absurd and redundant except that is exactly what Hungarian design student <a href="http://www.behance.net/otiliaerdelyi">O</a><a id="profile-username-text" href="http://www.behance.net/otiliaerdelyi">tília Erdélyi</a> has done!

Simple Egg Carton Design

It is made from a single piece of cardboard.

2
Egg Carton New Design

Like normal egg cartons, it can be stacked on shelves.

3
Redesigned Egg Carton

It uses less materials (and space) then normal cartons.

4
Ellipitical Holders

The eggs are held in place by special elliptical cutouts.

5
Single Piece of Cardboard Design

Erdélyi says eggs are as safe in the new design as they would be in a standard carton.

6
Egg Carton In Use

The new egg carton design is genius in its simplicity.
