Bring the serenity of nature into your home with Caeruleo. Designed as both a calming decor piece and an interactive art installation, this project features a single light source that glides gracefully along the inner perimeter, creating mesmerizing glimmers and dynamic patterns. Its sound-responsive LEDs adjust to their surroundings—brightening and accelerating in noisy environments, and dimming and slowing down in quiet spaces—bringing a sense of harmony to your living area.
Meaning of name: (made) for Azure

Final Result
What I learned
- Building the code and circuit for our project from scratch was definitely a steep learning curve, but it was rewarding to see the project come to life
- Process management is key for a project with so many steps: always planning ahead to avoid material delay/ burnouts, and keep things moving
- Iterative thinking: prepare to tackle unexpected changes (eg: the frame)
What to Improve
- I’d like to refine the frame’s finish with a mixed medium of air-dry clay and sand to experiment material mixes and achieve a more texturized, organic look
- With fewer commitments from other classes, I’d love to create a more polished video to show the product in use + reaccentuate the design concept
