Candles in the Wind is a revolutionary new lighting concept, using modern LED technology to faithfully recreate the experience of light from the ancient past – the simple yet infinitely complex candle flame. The design is pure and minimal: a bare circuit board featuring the latest in micro-processor technology paired with 256 high quality LEDs per candle is all it takes to evoke the natural flow and flicker.
When seen from a short distance, the light is indistinguishable from the real thing, thanks to a perfect match of the light colour of the LEDs. Closer inspection reveals the low resolution charm of the digital display.
The concept was introduced to the public during Ingo Maurer’s 2012 Milan show and received a fantastic response. The LED display shows video footage from a real candle; a smart random algorithm makes sure the sequence of movements never repeats to recreate the natural behaviour faithfully.
"Candlelight dinners will never be the same again! My New Flame by Ingo Maurer is a clever new take on the classic candlelight but much more fascinating to behold. The truly amazing My New Flame light is destined to become a classic! This brilliant table light with its flickering light creates a magnificent spectacle of light. My New Flame is a distinctive 'candle light' for the table or bedside that never burns down. The stunning combination of high-tech circuitry and poetic expression by the British/German designer and engineer, Moritz Waldemeyer."
The single version of the candle was introduced under the name “My New Flame” in November 2012 with launch events at Ingo Maurer’s showrooms in Munich and New York. It is now available through Ingo Maurer’s dealer network.
