Ice Cream-Inspired Lighting

The Scoop by Stephanie Ng is Made for Sweet Tooths

— December 2, 2013 — Art & Design
Mouths might start salivating and stomachs rumbling at the sight of Scoop by Stephanie Ng, an industrial designer based in Melbourne, Australia. That is because it has been inspired by an ice cream cone. Although more of an abstract tribute to the iconic frozen treat, the general shape and use of wood does denote such a dessert. Not to mention that the bulb has been used in such a way that it looks like vanilla ice cream.

Overall, Scoop by Stephanie Ng boasts a minimalist silhouette that is clean and contemporary. Made for modern homes with a love of all things whimsical, is made out of turned hard wood, spun metal cap and a sturdy cord. It can be hung individually or clustered together in a group.
