BLOOMANCE
Spring 2025 | Length: 5 weeks
Project Focus: Design and create a new version of the classic game of chess.
INSPIRATION BOARD
Ambient lamp inspired by organic forms and tensile structures. Featuring a lightweight acrylic frame, threaded details, and integrated LED illumination, BLOOMENCE creates a dynamic play of light and shadow that transforms any interior into a glowing atmosphere.
DESIGN OBJECTIVE
Easy to swap batteries
Aesthetic Light
Easy to power on
Interior Lamp
IDEATION
For the form exploration phase, I started by sketching floral and organic shapes — petals, buds, and spiral geometry that mimic nature’s growth. My goal was to translate the softness and gentle curves of a blooming bud into a physical object.
Sketches are comming…
LIGHT EXPERIMENTATION
Lighting was central to BLOOMANCE’s experience: how the lamp glows, how the light diffuses across and through the petals, and how gradients could enhance the organic feel.
I played with color — warm whites, soft ambers, and very gentle pastels — to see which palette best matched the “flower in bloom” concept.
WIRING
I used a simple, self-soldered parallel circuit to power three LEDs. Wiring them in parallel ensured each LED receives the full supply voltage, maximizing brightness without complicated electronics.

PROTOTYPING
I modeled the lamp’s internal structure in Fusion 360, exporting several design variants. These models were 3D-printed to test different geometries, fit, and how the LEDs would sit relative to the petals. By iterating with rapid prints, I optimized both light diffusion and the assembly process.
