Flare 150
Inspired by maritime lighthouses, Flare transforms a simple flame into a sculptural light. Through the prism of an optical lens, the candle's glow is captured, amplified, and projected into a vibrant beam.
Flare lights are candle-powered; a surface behind the object is required to achieve the halo effect and indirect lighting.

A Living Light
By day
By day, Flare reflects its environment, capturing and subtly distorting the world around it through the precision of its optical lens. Surfaces shift, contours blur, and the object becomes a fragment of its surroundings, ever‑changing with the light.

By night
By night, it transforms into a beacon. The lens gathers and concentrates the glow of a single flame, unfolding it into a halo — intimate, atmospheric, a quiet dialogue between light and shadow.
The history behind flare
An obsession with light.
Flare was born from months of research, driven by a shared fascination for light. Since the beginning of Douze Degrés, we've explored objects that capture, transform, or reveal it, whether scientific, poetic, or somewhere in between.
This journey began with an installation for Cercle Music in Switzerland, and has since been shaped by a collective imaginary: lighthouses, Fresnel lenses, the ocean, and above all, a living light.
Exploring to understand.
We experimented with this light in many environments: in the studio, in the mist, along the coast, facing the elements. We traveled to Brittany to observe lighthouses up close, study their mechanisms, their reach, and how they alter perception.
Flare emerged from these explorations , an attempt to bring that distant, untouchable light into a domestic object. A single flame becomes a signal, a halo, a living light that transforms space.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Flare is powered entirely by candlelight and requires no electricity. The lens captures, amplifies and projects the flame into a living halo. A surface behind the object is required to create this indirect lighting effect.
Your Flare comes with three candles, a pair of gloves for handling the lens without leaving marks, and a complete care and safety guide. Standard candles measuring 20 to 22 mm in diameter are also compatible; we recommend using natural-wax candles.
