The designer makes this lamp is inspired by the natural growth of a flower. Designed by Sander Bakker, Blom is both a light inspired by nature and a light respectful of nature. Look at the picture below.
Blom table lamp is a modern design light emitted by the organic fluidity delicate petals wrap around and in the form of a row of soft white overlay that creates a pattern of light and shadow through the translucence of the petals.
Base incorporates grain pattern to further enhance the appeal of organic Blom and 3 feet as if there are 3 stems with flowers incorporation. As an interesting contrast to the images is a brightly colored cloth covered cables laid flowers spilling down from the center before meeting with on / off switch. The packaging of Blom uses an innovative assembly process that allows for a small box size made from mostly recycled materials, which therefore minimizes the environmental footprint of shipping and material usage. Adding to the small footprint of the packaging is the innovative concept of printing the manual on the packaging itself.
The on/off switch attached to the cloth chord brings in a nostalgic moment as it is from the modernist design of the “Rompotratta” switch created in 1968 by Italian designer Achille Castiglioni. Achille saw his switch design as the most important creation of his career. Blom is 14″Hx11″W and is made with high density Polethylene and reconstituted veneer wood. The prudent selection of materials and efficient digital manufacturing processes continues the theme of low impact design.
Very pretty and currently, you can purchase Blom at Kickstarter.
