Bloomp is an interactive lamp, which redefines the switch of the traditional lamps and adds a natural feeling to the experience of using them.
Inspired by the beauty of the flower blooming mechanism and Chinese paper folding, I designed the foldable structure, which could be used to control the brightness of the light. In addition, the structure encourages users to save energy usage.

Laser-cutting Model Prototype Using Recycled Cardboard
Bloomp 1.0:
In this prototype, I made my own screws using cardboard, which fit the style of the lamp and decreases the friction in joints.
Bloomp 2.0:
In this prototype, I use distance detection to change the brightness of the lamp.
