Martha Stewart’s backyard eggs have hatched a fresh color palette for Hachiman’s latest collection. This limited-edition series features stackable multi-purpose buckets and Garden Beetle watering cans, all in soft green tones that echo the hues of Stewart’s farm-fresh eggs.
Inspired by Nature
The colors are derived from the eggs laid by Stewart’s Olive Egger and Cream Legbar hens at her Bedford, New York farm. These eggs, showcasing shades from sage to olive, set the stage for Hachiman’s new offerings. The collection is a result of Stewart’s ongoing partnership with Chilewich, the company that introduced Hachiman to the North American market.
Collaboration and Design
John McPhee, CEO of Chilewich, recalls first encountering Hachiman products in Rome, where their blend of beauty and utility immediately caught his eye. This sparked a collaboration that officially launched in January 2025, featuring a variety of colors including mustard and navy.
Stewart’s vision for a ‘Martha’ version of Hachiman’s products came to life during a casual meeting in her kitchen, where she was surrounded by her eggs. The design team at Chilewich quickly translated her ideas into tangible products.
Perfecting the Palette
To achieve the perfect colors, the team transported Stewart’s eggs to their design studio in New York City. There, they matched the eggshells against Pantone chips to ensure the colors would maintain their beauty when transformed into plastic. Remarkably, they achieved the desired hues on the first attempt.
Versatile and Award-Winning Designs
The collection includes the Multi-Purpose Bucket, a winner of Japan’s Long Life Design Award. This ribbed, stackable container is designed for versatility, capable of holding water and serving as seating with a lid that supports up to 330 pounds. The Garden Beetle Watering Can, recognized with both the Red Dot Design Award and Japan’s Good Design Award, features a grooved spout for a gentle water flow.
Both products are made from recyclable polypropylene, ensuring they are free from phthalates and PFAS, and are designed to withstand sun exposure. The collection is now available through chilewich.com, the Chilewich Store in New York City, and select retailers worldwide.
