Bloomlight S is the newest iteration of our acclaimed Bloomlight installation, redesigned for intimate indoor settings. During Dutch Design Week 2025, VOUW presents a field of Bloomlight S lights—each one responding to your presence by bending and unfurling in a fluid, organic movement. This install

A Living Light

Bloomlight S is a smaller, more personal version of our iconic Bloomlight. It retains the poetic, flower-like gesture: as someone walks by, the lamp senses their presence and gently bends toward them, blooming open with warm light. The movement is soft and organic—more gesture than mechanic. Bloomlight S encourages slowness and attention. It’s not a spotlight, it’s a companion. This DDW installation features multiple Bloomlight S units, allowing visitors to experience a calm and layered interaction with technology—one that feels alive rather than automated.

About VOUW

VOUW is an Amsterdam-based design studio working at the intersection of design, technology, and public art. We pioneered “Slowtech”—technology that slows people down to create real-world connection. All of our work, including City Gazing, Chairwave, Poem Booth, and Bloomlight, is imagined and built in-house. From Qatar to Sydney, our interactive pieces have sparked reflection, emotion, and surprise. At DDW25, we present Bloomlight S: a graceful, reactive light object for indoor spaces.
