Kaleidoscopic acrylic furniture by Draga & Aurel demonstrates "power of refraction"
Industrial design studio Draga & Aurel has created Flare, a collection of retrofuturistic furniture made entirely out of multicoloured Lucite.
The Flare capsule collection features seven coffee tables and a totem-style sculpture in a range of vibrant hues.
The Flare collection includes tables and totems
Each piece of furniture was created out of sheets of Lucite ? a patented version of acrylic resin that was developed in 1937 and is processed by hand.
Lake Como-based Draga & Aurel collaborated with local artisans to construct the multicoloured tables and the sculpture.

The furniture is characterised by chunky shapes, which "explore[s] the power of refraction," thanks to their bold angles, according to the studio. Draga & Aurel founders Draga Obradovic and Aurel K Basedow, who are known for using epoxy resin in their projects, made the furniture out of sheets of varying colours, shapes and thicknesses. These were placed on top of each other and glued together.
Various colours define the collection
Ranging from green, pink, orange and blue, the tables and the totem-like sculpture cast a kaleidoscope of bright hues that were informed by the work of artists Jiyong Lee and Vasa Mihich.
"The result is multifaceted objects that change from every angle and thoroughly express the concept of a flare, representing intuition, revelation and discovery," said Obradovic and Basedow.
