nogg chicken coop
nogg chicken coop
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.

design is starting to be absurd…
is this a cure for the designers eggistential angst? wanting a more eggalitarian society, eh? looks a bit of an eggo trip and seems like one too ovoid.
You’re a punny guy nicey ; )
Total agreement here.
better than those plastic ones!
How much i wonder
As an urban hen keeper and artist in Chicago I am intrigued about the design. Not so sure about the roosting stick as it probably holds 2 hens at the most and hen pecking may result with more hens. I wish the cleansing latch would have been pictured for proper understanding too. Thanks for posting!
This is amazing. To be honest I just built a house for my cat, a cat that has to live inside a house inside the house because she gets very sick and now that I am seeing this I would love to have something like this for her to live in. It is great.
I haven’t wanted a chicken until I saw this. I’ve heard it said that beauty will save the world – Yes. Indeed.
How are you supposed to clean it out? Looks nice but not as practical as one would want.
beautiful! I want a chicken just so I can justify getting one of these! haha

Gay.
i love this one!
There is a much larger hatch at the back for cleaning and access to eggs. There is also a rubber bucket style tray with handles for easy cleaning.
Looks like some space ship pod.
