Flar, Design by Patrick Norguet

for Lodes

Patrick Norguet approaches objects and design from a graphical perspective. Since childhood, he has preferred sketchbooks to textbooks, filling them up with sketches and drawings. A “hands-on” approach of industry and design studies in Paris (ESDI) mark the unusual profile of this constructive rebel.

His career underwent a dramatic change in 2000 when Giulio Cappellini spotted his now famous Rainbow Chair. He joined the circle of designers that matter and created his Parisian studio. Since that time, he has been designing for major producers and renowned brands.

For Patrick Norguet, design is first and foremost about happy encounters. What he is most passionate about is exchanging with manufacturers, discovering their know-how; the impulse of a creative intention refined by technical constraints, economic stakes and the expectations of a user whom he hopes to discreetly but durably win over.

Drawing inspiration from everything that surrounds him, Patrick Norguet does not follow trends but seeks to give shape to products whose relevance and modernity would withstand the test of time: “A well-designed object, an object created through generous collaboration is timeless.”

From consumer products to luxury objects, Patrick Norguet leaves an impression of authenticity and elegance. Today, he is an essential figure on the international design scene.

The story behind the product

Flar is that glow, that halo, that particle of light that because mysterious,

fascinates us.

The name Flar evokes images of a flare or ‘flamboiement’ in French – an intense blaze or burst of light. Highly impactful in its simplicity, Flar is a floor and table lamp that does not go unnoticed.

Inspired by traditional storm lanterns which use glass pipes to protect the flame, Flar features a billowing glass shade designed to surround an LED filament bulb, to magnify the light source and diffuse a very soft light, filtered by the tinted glass, almost like a contemporary candle.

Flar comprises a steel base which opens like a flower, leading to a moulded blown glass shade. The contrast between the precise 3D laser cut base and the uniqueness of the blown glass bubble enhances the personality of the lamp.

WHAT IS SOLAR LIGHTING

AND WHY ARE BATTERIES IMPORTANT?

Battery storage is necessary for a solar lighting system because it allows the system to store excess energy produced during the day for use at night or during periods of low sunlight. The amount of battery storage required will depend on the length of time that the lighting system needs to operate without sunlight, as well as the power consumption of the lights.
