We’re excited to announce a new collaboration with Ellen Deckwitz — acclaimed poet, columnist for NRC, current city poet of Amsterdam, and recipient of the prestigious Italian Premio Ciampi for her collection Hogere Natuurkunde. Her work is known for its clarity, wit, and emotional depth, and now, for the first time, it’s being brought into a completely new context: the Poem Booth.
Introducing Bloomlight S—a living light for your home. Crafted in our Amsterdam studio, Bloomlight S isn’t just a lamp; it’s a responsive presence that gently blooms into warm light when you enter the room. In a world that moves too fast, this piece of slowtech reconnects you to your space and your own rhythm. Pre-orders are now open, and the first buyers will also receive an exclusive invitation to our intimate launch dinner on June 18. Experience the dawn of a new chapter in design.
Earlier this year, three of our Bloomlights were exhibited in Greifswald, Germany — a quiet northern town best known as the birthplace of Caspar David Friedrich. The presentation took place in February, marking the 250th anniversary of the iconic Romantic painter’s birth. The small-scale outdoor exhibition explored the legacy of Friedrich’s work and its ongoing relevance today.

Where the urban environment normally consists of purely straight lines, the Bloomlight provides an alternative with organic shapes and a friendly design that only provides light when needed.
