Flare 40
Designed by Douze Degrés, 2025
390,00 € incl. taxes
Inspired by maritime lighthouses,
it transforms a simple flame into a luminous signal. Using an optical lens, the candlelight is captured, amplified, and projected, turning a soft glow into a vibrant beam.
Made of anodized aluminum and featuring an optical lens, each piece plays with perception.
Each Flare is made to order, with a production and delivery time of 6–8 weeks.
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, it transforms into a beacon.
The lens gathers and concentrates the glow, projecting it like a reflector and unfolding into a halo of radiance.
In the dark, Flare reveals its enigmatic luminous presence—at once intimate and atmospheric, a dialogue between light and shadow.
History of Flare
At the origin, an obsession...
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.
How Flare is made ?
Flare combines precision engineering with artisanal care. Its anodized aluminum body is produced in Europe by trusted suppliers, ensuring both quality and durability. At the center, a specially machined optical lens creates the signature play of distortion, light convergence, and the luminous halo that gives Flare its unique presence. Finally, each piece is carefully hand-assembled in our Paris workshop, where technical expertise meets a dedication to detail.
