A GLIMPSE OF INNER LIGHT
Flare
by Kateřina Handlová
The beam inside BOMMA’s Flare lights its minimalist glass rods from within. This new collection,
designed by Kateřina Handlová, pays homage to traditional glassmaking techniques and allows
architects and designers to create distinctive lighting installations for diverse spaces. The crystal rods
are manually pulled, so each piece is an original with a unique swirl of light spiraling through its interior.
The glassmakers pull the piece into a desired length, stretching the glass 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. The collection includes glass rods in three shapes, one perfectly straight and
two bent in varying degrees. They can be infinitely combined to create custom installations.
