BOMMA at Designblok 2024, Prague

Monumental lighting installation of Flare light at St. Salvator Church in Prague

Czech design lighting brand BOMMA showcased the new Flare lighting collection in an artistic installation entitled ‘Sacred Enlightenment‘, created by Lunchmeat Studio and BOMMA ‘s creative director Václav Mlynář. Visitors were guided by the beams of light flowing through the 17th-century sacred space witnessing an enchanting interplay of light and form.

The Sacred Enlightenment installation drew you into an unprecedented experience of light composition, while enlivening the church interior and evoking an atmosphere of quiet contemplation and spiritual illumination. Designed by Katerina Handlova, every crystal rod is manually pulled, making each piece totally original and with a unique swirl of light spiralling through its interior. This effect is achieved using a traditional glassmaking technique, where the molten glass core is covered with small glass shards known as sinter, then dipped back into molten crystal. The glassmakers then pull the piece to the desired length, stretching the fragments across the interior of the glass rod. This creates a mesmerising texture inside the rod, resembling a miniature Universe that flares every time the switch is flipped.
