We are pleased to announce that Flare, designed by Kateřina Handlová, is among the winners in the lighting category of the internationally recognised Archiproducts Design Awards.
Collection pays homage to traditional glassmaking techniques and allows architects and designers to create distinctive lighting installations for diverse spaces. The individual components may be combined into smaller minimalist lights or impressive, expansive fixtures in more spacious interiors.
The crystal rods are manually pulled, so each piece is original. Molten-glass core is covered by small glass shards known as sinter, then dipped back in molten crystal. The glassmakers then pull the piece to a desired length, stretching the fragments across the interior of the glass rod. This creates a magical texture inside the rod, seemingly its own Universe, flaring every time a switch is flipped.
