For your moment of peace:
the flower of light
Kvel – a palm-sized work of art in glass that creates a richer ambiance wherever you place it.
To heal the fatigues of the day, to bring a beautiful new tomorrow, Kvel brings the “flower of light” to bloom to produce a calming space
For a rich glittering table
Decorate the lunch or dinner table with Kvel as you would with flowers. Putting Kvel into the glass, its ambient light creates art-like patterns of flowers in the surrounding space. Kvel adds the warmth of sparkling light to the table and switches the room to a healing space.
For a deeper relaxation time
With its natural sparkle and delicate light patterns, Kvel can change your room into a beautiful and fantastical space. In yoga, meditation, massage – Kvel brings deeper relaxation.
Warm light created by ambient sound
Kvel’s built-in microphone converts ambient sounds into light, flickering like a real candle, while the independently developed analog circuit produces a warm glow.
With Kvel, enjoy the pleasures of not only listening to music, but seeing it visually represented in enhanced lighting ambiance.
Design Features
We at Kvel have designed a candle unlike any before: slim, sleek, and deceptively simple. With its transparent, metallic surface coating, at first glance Kvel may seem an unassuming silver baton, but turn it on and experience its unparalleled light-emitting capabilities.
With its easy-to-carry, slim shape and convenient AAA battery operation, Kvel is perfect for hassle-free outdoor entertaining such as camping, grad parties, festivals, and more.
Technological Features
With an independent, fully analog circuit, Kvel operates entirely without the use of a micro computer.
This allows Kvel to shine above all other digital LED light systems, with warmth reminiscent of vintage record players and tube amplifiers
The circuit is designed specifically with low volume ambient sound in mind. This enables Kvel to convert even the slightest change in sound to light. Furthermore, through the Automatic Gain Control technology, you can enjoy Kvel from the quiet, intimate interior of your own home to the lively, dynamic settings of jazz bars.
With Kvel, enjoy the pleasures of not only listening to music, but seeing it visually represented in enhanced lighting ambiance.
How to use
Using the unique qualities of glass and sound, Kvel makes the art of candle light even more elegant and enjoyable.
1. Choose a glass or holder of your liking
Choose glassware to experience its full spectrum of delight. Of course ordinary candle holders are fine, but particularly in cut glass containers, the beauty of reflected light shines through.
2. Place Kvel inside glassware
When you put Kvel into a glass, the pattern of the glass is reflected beautifully. Move it slowly, and the pattern of light changes like a kaleidoscope.
3. Enjoy the sparkle
When you play music in a quiet place, it shimmers with the sounds.
Kvel: As many ways to enjoy as there are varieties of glassware
Turn off the room light and place Kvel slowly into the glass. Watch as the reflected creates stunning, blooming motifs reminiscent of a flower.
Choose glassware to suit your situation, like flower vases, whiskey glasses, or traditional glassware.
