Blankets are, well, typically flat - unless you count the Snuggie as one. But not Bloom.

Bloom is a 3D-designed blanket created by Bianca Cheng Costanzo, a Brazilian-born half Chinese and half-Italian woman raised in California who dropped out of MIT where she was part of the famous MIT Media Lab, and worked as a designer at Apple.

Her blanket Bloom was inspired by both the origami she played with as a kid, and the tessellations she explored at MIT, created from soft Italian fabric.

Bloom was constructed by sewing woolen tetrahedrons together. The result is a pleasantly bumpy spread of pyramids that looks like a paper fortune teller. Costanzo says the material is Italian cashmere, and just stiff enough to maintain its shape.

It's available in both white and grey and costs $249 a piece. Bloom is currently on Kickstarter, where it's surged way past Costanzo's original goal of $14,050 - Bloom has secured well over $160,000 already, with more than a week to go.
