Bloomlight S, refined for spaces that should feel alive
For lighting designers, architects and hospitality teams, light has to do more than illuminate. It has to shape atmosphere, guide attention and give people a reason to stay.
Bloomlight S senses human presence, opens softly and turns light into a small encounter. Since Light + Building, we have refined it with warmer materials, better proportions and clearer options for project-based interiors.
What has changed
The past months have been about refinement. Not adding more technology, but making the experience quieter, warmer and easier to specify.
Softer materials
We refined the leaves and shade material to give Bloomlight S a warmer, more tactile presence. The goal is simple: a technical lamp that feels crafted, calm and alive in the room.
Better proportions
Bloomlight S now stands at a standard height of 235 cm. The stronger pole gives the lamp a cleaner resting position and more range when it bends. For projects, custom heights are possible.
More project options
For interior and hospitality projects, we can now offer custom height, shade material, leaf material and stone base finish. That makes Bloomlight S easier to connect to a specific spatial concept, palette or atmosphere.
Built to be kept
Each piece is individually numbered, handcrafted in Amsterdam, serviceable and built with replaceable parts. Technical documentation is being prepared, including photometric data, light distribution, CRI and colour temperature. If you need an IES file for a lighting plan, let us know.
Where Bloomlight S has been
Bloomlight S has recently been part of a wider international conversation: recognised by the German Design Award, shown in Delft with The Robots are Coming, presented at the Digital Art Festival in Istanbul and discussed with partners in the Middle East, China and Japan.
We are pleased to announce that KRASSKY will represent Bloomlight S in Latvia and the surrounding region.
A huge thank you
Great design is never built alone. Thank you to Dennis van Egmond from Brand van Egmond, Ali Yunus Ustun and Amactare in Istanbul, Thilo Pahnke of DPS, Nan Su, and Shiran Gort and Jan Wolleswinkel of POLSPOTTEN for opening doors and bringing Bloomlight S into new contexts.
Enquiries for special projects
Bloomlight S is available for private collectors and for project-based applications: hotels, lobbies, restaurants, lounges, showrooms, wellness spaces and high-end interiors.
If you are specifying a project for autumn or winter, this is the right moment to start the conversation. Email or WhatsApp Gervaise Coebergh via gervaise@vouw.com or +31 6 53 51 89 68.
Meanwhile at VOUW
Poem Booth is growing into new formats, from Portrait Booth to Roast Booth, with recent and upcoming moments in Amsterdam, London, Geneva, New York, Paris and The Hague. Bloomlight L recently appeared in Liege, bringing its large-scale interactive presence back into a public light festival context.
Things that inspired us this month
Weather matched with a Rothko painting. Useless in the best way: technology that gives the day a mood instead of another dashboard.
A balcony listening for passing birds. A tiny microphone hears what moves through the air, then a site collages the birds as they are heard.
Young Saudis skating through Riyadh. Beautiful photographs of a city changing at human speed: movement, friendship, public space, joy.
Birds navigating by gut feeling. Research covered by the Financial Times suggests navigation may be shaped by signals from the gut microbiome.
A Year Amongst Wolves. A patient ARTE documentary about wolf life, landscape and the kind of attention nature demands.
General Magic. A documentary about a company brilliant enough to imagine the future before the world was ready.
Why working in tech is not all fun and beanbags anymore. A sharp look at how workplace culture shifted from playful perks to something more sober and real.
Pirate Hunters. A book about treasure hunting, shipwrecks and the useful reminder that myths are often less interesting than reality.
Can useless technology save the world. A playful argument for useless invention, and a quiet critique of tech culture that only values what can be optimized.
