Jumeirah Carlton Tower is proud to take part in The Big Egg Hunt, a city-wide celebration of art and conservation set to transform London’s most iconic landmarks into a vibrant open-air gallery from 24 March to 27 April 2025.
Contributing to the initiative, the hotel has partnered with acclaimed Emirati artist Hashel Al Lamki to create a striking two-foot egg sculpture, inspired by the ethereal beauty of sunsets, named Foraminifera II. Positioned along the official trail, the artwork reflects Al Lamki’s distinctive style and his exploration of the connection between humanity and nature.
During his creative residency at Jumeirah Carlton Tower, Al Lamki developed a design that captures his belief in the role of art as a bridge between nature, history, and the future. Commenting on the collaboration, he shared: “Every act of creation is an act of care. With the support of Jumeirah, I aim to create art not only for today but for future generations, connecting art, biodiversity, and the urgent need for conservation.”
In celebration of the hotel’s involvement, a miniature replica of Hashel Al Lamke’s egg will be on display at The Chinoiserie from 1 April, allowing guests to admire the design in an intimate setting. To further enrich the Easter experience, Executive Pastry Chef, Martin Haidar and his team, have created a hand-crafted chocolate egg, inspired by Hashels creation, filled with caramel flakes and hazelnut praline. Made with 40% milk chocolate and a delicate infusion of pink pepper, this exclusive Easter treat will be available throughout April.
Recognised as the world’s largest egg hunt, The Big Egg Hunt will animate locations including Chelsea, Covent Garden, Battersea Power Station, and The British Museum with unique sculptures designed by leading artists, designers, and local brands.
Participants are invited to explore the trail using a free app, collect virtual eggs, unlock prizes, and join a silent auction for the chance to take home one of the one-of-a-kind creations, all while raising vital funds for Elephant Family’s vital conservation work to protect habitats and wildlife in South Asia
