Light Pulsing Bassinets

Natalie Keville's 'Bloom' Visually Displays Baby's Breathing

— July 20, 2009 — Eco
The motion-sensitive ‘Bloom’ baby bassinet was designed by Natalie Keville, an industrial and product designer based in Ireland.

One of the aims of the ‘Bloom’ bassinet is to foster synchronized sleep cycles for infants and parents by placing the two in close proximity. The bedside stand converts into a rocker to facilitate interaction during non-sleep times. An extending stand elevates the bassinet so it can be used as a chair or short-term parking station for baby as the child grows.

Environmentally friendly EVA foam and thermoplastic elastomer skin are used in the construction. Sensors respond to breathing movements and activate pulsing illumination intended to reassure, calm, and sooth both parent and child. The illumination can be set to a slow pulse, a steady glow, or turned off completely depending upon the user’s preference.
Trend Themes
1. Motion-sensitive Baby Products - The 'Bloom' bassinet demonstrates the trend of incorporating motion sensors into baby products to promote better sleep and interaction.
2. Environmentally Friendly Construction Materials - The use of EVA foam and thermoplastic elastomer in the 'Bloom' bassinet reflects the trend of integrating eco-friendly materials into consumer products.
3. Interactive Lighting Features - The pulsing illumination in the 'Bloom' bassinet highlights the trend of incorporating interactive lighting elements in products to provide reassurance and soothing effects.
Industry Implications
1. Baby Products - The 'Bloom' bassinet presents an opportunity for the baby products industry to introduce motion-sensing features that enhance sleep and parent-child interaction.
2. Sustainable Materials - The use of EVA foam and thermoplastic elastomer in the 'Bloom' bassinet creates opportunities for the sustainable materials industry to expand its offerings in the consumer goods sector.
3. Lighting and Home Decor - The interactive lighting features in the 'Bloom' bassinet open up possibilities for the lighting and home decor industry to integrate similar illumination techniques into their product lines.
