ViviOvo: The "ViviOvo" is Storms’ only muse-inspired form. “When I first showed my future wife all of my work, I asked her what piece she loved most,” said Storms. “She pointed out the form that I had left mostly undeveloped and lazily named the egg. With some new inspiration and a strong desire to impress, I focused and researched all things egg.” Storms modeled the new design from the "Golden Mean Egg" or the "Fibonacci Egg". Using natural geometry, he set to shape and polish. The result is a form that is as beautiful as it is difficult to create: The ViviOvo. “The form is named after my wife, Vivian, and her native language for egg, Ovo,” said Storms.
