Lourens Magazine – Reflections by Bloomming
Dutch Lifestyle Magazine Features Bloomming’s Sculptural Steel Vases
Published in Lourens Magazine, Winter 2010
Dutch lifestyle publication Lourens Magazine featured Reflections, the sculptural vase collection designed by Mireille Meijs for Bloomming, in its home and interior design section.
Presented alongside a curated selection of luxury home accessories and contemporary design objects, Reflections was highlighted for its distinctive geometric form and architectural appearance.
Reflections
Reflections transforms the traditional vase into a sculptural object.
Crafted from folded stainless steel, the design consists of faceted surfaces that create constantly changing reflections of light and surroundings. The angular geometry gives the vases a strong architectural presence while maintaining an elegant and minimalist character.
Even when not holding flowers, the objects function as standalone design pieces that interact with their environment through reflection, shadow, and perspective.
Inspired by Geometry
The design language of Reflections reflects Bloomming’s ongoing exploration of faceted forms, geometry, and spatial perception.
Each surface captures and reflects its surroundings differently, causing the appearance of the vase to change depending on the viewer’s position and the available light. This dynamic quality gives the object a sense of movement despite its static form.
Functional Sculpture
While fully functional as flower vases, Reflections was designed to blur the boundary between product design and sculpture.
The folded metal construction creates a striking silhouette that draws attention whether displayed individually or as a pair. The design demonstrates how everyday objects can become architectural elements within an interior.
