Designer Patrick Jouin uses 3D-printing digital technology—rapid prototyping and 3D printing—to create his Bloom Table Lamp.
The award-winning lamp design transforms from initial bud-like position—its petal/shade drawn in—into a full bloom that releases maximum light. The single-piece print can be expanded or contracted by hand, depending on the amount of light desired. [Inhabitat]













pretty cool, would kinda be better if it pointed down so you can spread the light out for reading and if it was done by a button or stroke and slowly bloomed but i like the concept
