Popis	The Flare collection includes crystal glass rods in three shapes, one perfectly straight and two bent in varying degrees. They can be infinitely combined to create custom installations. The light and its construction are very minimalist in appearance. However, they include sophisticated mountings with the latest COB light source. The crystal rods are manually pulled, so each piece is original with a unique swirl of light spiraling through its interior. This effect is achieved using a traditional glassmaking technique, where the 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.
