Student Project

Dumpling Orbit (Pierogowa orbita)

Have you ever wondered what lies at the center of the Polish culinary universe? The answer is simpler than you think—potatoes and pierogi.

This revelation inspired the design of a one-of-a-kind candle holder designed specifically for pierogi, which are delicious dumplings filled with potato and quark cheese. The holder resembles the solar system, with the dumplings placed on small plates that orbit like planets, creating a sense of balance and harmony. Crafted from ceramics, wood, and metal, this design boasts a sophisticated composition. Moreover, its modular structure offers flexibility for creative arrangements, catering to individual tastes and preferences.
