Inspired by how a pine cone opens and closes depending on moisture levels in the environment, I made an interactive ambient-controlled night light that responds to the light conditions in a room.
In the day when the room is bright, the pine cone will remain close and shine dimly. At night when the room is dark, the pine cone will rise and open, spreading its scales, and making the lamp shine brighter.
