Kaleidoscope Hero

Maren & Olde, botanical perfumers

Every bloom, turned into a pattern.

Scents distilled from a single field of poppies and wild herbs, bottled in the same season they were picked. Turn the glass and look closer.

Orange poppies against a clear blue sky
About this block

Kaleidoscope HeroPRO

A botanical perfume hero built on the kaleidoscope component: a photo of poppies folded live into a crisp mirrored mandala inside a round glass tube, turning slowly while the view drifts and zooms over the petals so the pattern keeps blooming into new forms. The cursor turns the tube and zooms the view. A semibold serif headline, a short intro, an Arrow Pill and an underline link sit beside it. Every tube setting passes through the scope prop; it pauses offscreen, holds a still pattern for reduced motion and falls back to the plain photo without WebGL.

Hero229: Kaleidoscope Hero

A serif headline, an intro and two buttons beside the kaleidoscope component, which folds your photo live in WebGL into a mirrored mandala inside a round glass tube that turns slowly while the view drifts and zooms, with the cursor turning the tube and zooming the view.

This installs the block to components/beste/block/hero229.tsx plus the kaleidoscope component and the button23 and button2 buttons it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports hero229Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working hero in one line.

tsx
import { Hero229, hero229Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/hero229";

export default function Page() {
  return <Hero229 {...hero229Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

tsx
import { Hero229 } from "@/components/beste/block/hero229";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Hero229
      eyebrow="Botanical perfumers"
      heading="Every bloom, turned into a pattern."
      description="Scents distilled from a single field of poppies and wild herbs."
      buttons={[
        { label: "Discover the scents", href: "/scents" },
        { label: "Visit the atelier", href: "/atelier" },
      ]}
      image={{
        src: "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1490750967868-88aa4486c946?w=2400&q=80",
        alt: "Orange poppies against a clear blue sky",
      }}
      scope={{ segments: 8, zoom: 0.5, drift: 0.5, rim: true, round: true }}
    />
  );
}

Behavior notes

  • The kaleidoscope is square, 88% wide on phones and full column width from md, and never taller than the viewport minus the header and 8rem.
  • The photo is loaded with CORS so WebGL can read it; use a host that allows cross-origin loading (Unsplash does). The alt text is kept in a visually hidden span for screen readers.
  • The loop pauses offscreen or in a hidden tab, and the pixel ratio is capped at 2 and lowered when frames run slow.
  • With reduced motion, the pattern holds still and the copy skips its rise-in. Without WebGL, the plain photo is shown.
  • The section is at least max(640px, 100svh - 78px) tall with its content vertically centered.
