Notably, the Merengue lamp has been released in various pop colors, but each have white inner coloring.

I am thoroughly impressed by the innovative approach taken to translate the whimsical essence of a Meringue cookie into a functional piece of lighting decor that both captivates and illuminates. The dedication to research and the creative process of 3D scanning edible items to find a form that not only serves as a practical household item but also doubles as a piece of art is commendable. The Swirl Lamp, with its symmetrical form and flowing curves, brings a unique charm to any space, embodying the fun character of Pop Art-inspired home decor. It is fascinating how the design challenge of transforming food into decor has been met with such elegance and creativity, resulting in a lamp that enhances living spaces with its delightful colors and shapes. The careful consideration of both the aesthetic and functional aspects, including the intricate mold-making process and the choice of materials that ensure true light reflection, showcases a deep understanding of design principles. This work is a testament to the power of design to transform everyday items into extraordinary pieces of art. It is indeed a pleasure to see such innovative work being recognized, and it reflects highly on the talents of Konstantinos Paradeisopoulos and Zeynep Önder Paradeisopoulos.

By incorporating 3D scanning technology to translate edible items into functional design elements, Zeynep and Konstantinos have created not just a lamp, but a piece of art that infuses spaces with a fun and pop-art inspired ambiance.

This work not only reflects a deep understanding of design and material innovation but also embodies a fresh perspective on how everyday objects can inspire us to reimagine our living spaces.
