Product Design Now: Renderings – Bloomming Designs Featured in International Design Publication
Bloomming Projects Included in Global Design Rendering Showcase
Published in Product Design Now: Renderings by Cristian Campos, Collins Design
Several early Bloomming designs were selected for inclusion in Product Design Now: Renderings, an international publication by design author Cristian Campos that explores the role of digital visualization in contemporary product design.
The book presents renderings and concepts from designers around the world and highlights how digital tools are used to develop, communicate and refine design ideas before production. Among the featured projects are Lightfacet, Clock Delay, and Ringset ONE, designed by Mireille Meijs and Bas van Leeuwen.
Lightfacet
One of the featured projects is Lightfacet, the modular room divider designed by Mireille Meijs.
The publication presents Lightfacet as a flexible architectural element composed of individually rotatable diamond-shaped modules. By adjusting the orientation of each facet, users can influence transparency, light, shadow and privacy, creating endlessly changing patterns.
Originally conceived as a room divider, Lightfacet can also function as a decorative screen or window treatment. Its modular structure allows it to be adapted to spaces of virtually any size.
Clock Delay
Also featured is Clock Delay, the experimental clock designed by Bas van Leeuwen.
Clock Delay reinterprets the traditional clock by replacing hands and a dial with three separate rotating wheels representing hours, minutes and seconds. The current time appears at the intersection of the three wheels, turning the act of reading time into a more engaging experience.
The book highlights the clock’s exposed mechanics and technical construction in stainless steel and aluminum, emphasizing its combination of functionality, engineering and sculptural expression.
Ringset ONE
The publication additionally includes Ringset ONE, a minimalist jewelry concept by Bas van Leeuwen and Mireille Meijs.
The design consists of two nearly identical rings that differ through a subtle detail: one features a slightly convex profile while the other is slightly concave. When combined, the rings fit perfectly together, expressing the concept of duality through a simple geometric gesture.
The project demonstrates Bloomming’s interest in reducing objects to their essential form while maintaining a strong conceptual foundation.
Design Through Visualization
Product Design Now: Renderings focuses on the importance of digital visualization within the design process.
By bringing together projects from different disciplines, the publication illustrates how renderings have become an essential tool for exploring ideas, communicating concepts and presenting products before physical prototypes exist.
The inclusion of several Bloomming projects reflects the studio’s early experimentation with form, geometry and product storytelling through both design and visualization.
