Bomma Collection “Flare”
The ray inside the BOMMA Flare illuminates its fairy spiral structure through the crystal rod.
This new collection pays homage to traditional glassmaking techniques and allows architects and designers to create original lighting installations for various spaces.
"The Flare luminaire is inspired by the phenomenon of light itself, craftsmanship and traditional glassmaking techniques, as well as the need to create a luminaire offering a wide variety of compositions and spatial solutions. It is based on the shape and character of the flare, creating lines of light and glimpses into space.”
The crystal rods are pulled manually, so each piece is original, with a unique swirl of light coursing through its interior. This effect is achieved using a traditional glassmaking technique: the core of molten glass is covered with small shards of glass, called frits, then dipped back into the molten crystal. The glassmakers then pull the piece to the desired length, stretching the fragments inside the glass rod.
This creates a magical texture inside the stem, which seems to be its own universe and ignites every time a switch is flipped.
"Thanks to the versatility of its shape, Flare is perfect for vertical installations, such as in stairwells, as well as for horizontal compositions in rooms with low ceilings. The different elements can be combined to form minimalist luminaires of small size or impressive, expansive fixtures in more spacious interiors. Flare can be a simple line, a detail, or a monumental installation in office buildings or hotel lobbies."
