Overview of Components
The fully assembled BloomLight, featuring all components working together.
Metal Petal Lampshade
The lampshade consists of several petal-shaped pieces cut from reclaimed scrap sheet metal. Each petal is bent to a gentle curve, creating a flower-like silhouette that reflects and diffuses light outward and downward. The metallic finish adds an industrial elegance to the organic form.
3D-Printed Base
The base is printed in magenta PLA filament sourced from leftover spools in the fabrication lab. It provides a stable, weighted foundation for the lamp and houses the wiring connections. Its vibrant color contrasts beautifully with the silver petals.
Curved Stem
The stem is 3D-printed in orange PLA, featuring a gentle curve that gives BloomLight its organic, plant-like posture. It connects the base to the lampshade and routes the internal wiring. The curvature was optimized through multiple prototyping iterations.
LED Light Assembly
An energy-efficient LED module is housed within the petal assembly, providing warm white light suitable for desk work. The LED was chosen for its low heat output, long lifespan, and compatibility with the recycled material housing.
Internal Wiring
Standard electrical wiring runs from the base through the hollow stem to the LED assembly. The wiring is fully insulated and routed to remain hidden within the structure, maintaining the lamp's clean aesthetic.
Assembly Hardware
Small fasteners and adhesive connect the various printed and metal components together. The lamp is designed for straightforward assembly and future disassembly if maintenance or component replacement is needed.
